From Peace Corps Alum to BNID Board Chair: An Interview with Lynn Arsenault

BNID’s Board Chair, Lynn Arsenault, has always been passionate about volunteer work. After a friend recommended the experience, she spent her senior year of college gathering her application materials for the Peace Corps. Not long after she graduated from Westfield State University with a degree in education, Lynn set off to spend two and a half years in the small island nation of Vanuatu. She did not know that in those two and a half years her whole perspective on life was going to change.
