Members | Future Generations Learning Community

My name is Morgan DeCicco. I am 22 years old and living in Parkersburg, WV. I graduated from West Virginia University in 2019 with a degree in design studies along with a few minors. I am currently serving as a first year AmeriCorps with my local United Way. I have had an interest in community development for a few years now, and I decided to join this program to better understand how I can help improve the community that I live in as well as others. In my spare time, I love to read; my ultimate dream is to open my own bookstore someday!

I Work with the Tanzanian Commission for Human Rights as a Human Rights Officer, where I am responsible for Promoting and Protecting Human Rights.  I am a person with a disability (I use wheelchair for mobility), I work in the disability field as co-founder and I have joined many local, regional and international disability organizations. I have almost 20 years of experience in the disability and NGOs sector.
