Erin has also served as a Community Builder Fellow for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and as an Urban Community Development Volunteer for Peace Corps in Ecuador. As a Community Builder, Erin served as a community resource to elected officials, local leaders, public, private and non-profit groups in Los Angeles by taking the lead in resolving high priority controversial issues including community complaints and concerns.

The academic portion of the fellowship was at Harvard University. As a Peace Corps Volunteer, Erin assisted in the creation of social service programs for the city of Loja, Ecuador (120,000 inhabitants) that focused on community planning, health, personal development, job skills and literacy. These programs were geared toward women and youth in 48 urban neighborhoods. During her time as a Peace Corps Volunteer, Erin managed grant proposals for the Mayor’s Office of Social ervices resulting in over $300,000 in local investment, including a mobile health clinic and a National Pilot Program in neighborhood libraries.

Erin can be reached at Corrigan@nscs.org through December of this year.
