"This is leadership in practice. You can't just read a book on leadership. You have to put it into practice." — Jill Mizell, Researcher, New York

 “Oxfam Action Corps has given me a ton of confidence… Gaining knowledge and being able to speak to people about the issues.”  Amy L., Business Operations Analyst, Des Moines

"This has become one of the best parts of my life… I can't express enough how satisfying it is to be organizing with people who are just as committed and dependable and passionate. It is so great to have the support from the Oxfam America staff, and I've been really impressed by their accessibility, competency and friendliness." – Isaac E., Educator, New York City
