Report for America brought journalists from every corner of the country to Minneapolis last week for the service program’s 2024 National Gathering. It was an opportunity for corps members to connect and learn from one another in a way that can only be done in person.
“We can do orientation on Zoom. We can do a lot of training on Zoom. But it became increasingly clear what we can’t do well online,” said Rachel Rohr, vice president of program development for Report for America. “So this national gathering is dedicated to those things that we can only do well in person — hands-on workshops, getting to know the staff, and most importantly, the corps members getting to know each other.”
