National Service is something close to Alex Tran's heart. He never could have imagined doing so much service through AmeriCorps. 

During his first term in the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), he was based in Aurora, Colorado, and traveled with like-minded individuals to aid in disaster relief projects in Louisiana and environmental stewardship projects in Kansas. With his first term ending, he decided to go back home, where he joined Habitat AmeriCorps with Sussex County Habitat for Humanity, building houses and recruiting volunteers in Southern Delaware. He was later picked up by Delaware's State Volunteer Office as a VISTA in conjunction with Habitat, working on special projects. He thought he was done with service until the wildfires in Maui, Hawaii, happened, which inspired him to join the American Conservation Experience (ACE) in Asheville, North Carolina. One memorable story for Alex is his participation in AmeriCorps Disaster Response during the Iowa floods in the Summer of 2024. Mucking and gutting moldy homes for disaster survivors inspired him in his next phase in life.

He is currently a FEMA Reservist while pursuing his MBA at the University of the People. The service he provides continues in one shape or form. In 2023, he received the Lifetime Volunteer Presidential Service Award. Lastly, he enjoys hiking and needs to do more of it.
