Carrie has stepped into the AmeriCorps Program Manager position at Collier County Community and Human Services and is overseeing both the Retired Senior Volunteer Program and Day of Service AmeriCorps grants. Although Carrie is the newest member of the Collier County Community and Human Services team, she is not new to the world of AmeriCorps and has over 10 years experience with AmeriCorps in the state of Maine. Carrie understands the importance of disaster readiness and how the work of her grants directly impact the community of Collier County. I am confident her passion for volunteer work, extensive AmeriCorps experience, strong work ethic, and commitment to Collier County’s mission will add great value to Citizen Corp. I give Carrie Limeburner my highest recommendation without reservation. Please note, we are aware of Carrie’s current “non-voting” status in Collier County and are requesting to waive the requirement at this time, while she works on securing permanent residency. Carrie’s permanent residency begins when she moves into her permanent housing September 1, 2025. Please feel free to contact me at 239-252-5218 or dana.sebastian@colliercountyfl.gov if you would like to discuss Carrie’s qualifications further.
