Wake Forest senior Grace Johnson was recently honored with the first-ever AmeriCorps Outstanding Service Award presented by North Carolina Campus Compact. NC-ACTS! (North Carolina-Activating Citizenship Through Service!) is the largest AmeriCorps program in the state with 500 students from 30 campuses providing direct service to community agencies and schools in the areas of education, human needs and services and volunteer recruitment / capacity building.

Grace Johnson was nominated by Coordinator Melissa Duquette as someone who goes above and beyond the responsibilities and duties stated in her Service Site Agreement. Grace was eligible for the award because she contributed 300 hours of volunteer service to the Campus Kitchen. She was selected from a pool of 5 finalists. In recognition of her service, both Grace and the Campus Kitchen at Wake Forest University will receive a cash award.
