Alina Cobb is the 2024 Winter Cohort Community Volunteer Ambassador Leader (CVAL) for the Southeast Region. She is serving out of Elizabethtown, KY, where she formerly served as the CVA at Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historical Park. Alina is very hau'oli (joyful, happy) to be serving a second year in the CVA program, as she has found a great passion for the National Park Service, it's incredible mission, and the special sense of community the organization offers. She is most excited to implement volunteer program management trainings, build on the personal and professional skills she cultivated her first term, and, most importantly, meet new people! Alina enjoys hammocking with a good book, hiking and exploring, and fueling her coffee addiction by visiting local coffee shops. She can’t wait to use opportunities presented throughout this year to leave a positive impact on the world and instill community stewardship in coworkers and future generations!
