Rick Lathrop - Executive Director/Asia Programs Director
Prior to forming Global Service Corps (GSC), Rick had experience as a high school teacher, a Navy Officer, a print advertising account representative, a non profit administrator, and an adult holistic educator and leadership trainer. Rick's graduate studies were part of the Human and Organization Development Ph.D. program at The Fielding Institute in Santa Barbara, California. At Fielding, Rick became interested in global studies, particularly in the area of sustainable development, and discovered that there were few educational programs available for adults to gain firsthand experience in the field of international development. With the assistance of a small startup grant from Fielding, he began the development of a program of short-term, "mini Peace Corps" types of experiences to provide Fielding students and others international grass roots exposure to global issues. The concept soon expanded to include participation of adults from all walks of life interested in this kind of experience. Rick continued developing the GSC program part time while completing his studies, and finished his Masters degree in Organization Development in August of 1994. He has been working full time on this endeavor since that time.

Maxine Lathrop - Associate Director/Tanzania Program Director
Following four years studying liberal arts at California State University-Fullerton, Maxine worked in the food service industry that lead to a career including menu design, consulting, event planning, cooking for internationally known leaders and managing the food service operation at a wellness conference center on an organic farm. From 1992 to 2006, Maxine embarked on a property management career that included managing a 73-unit property in San Francisco. During this time she also acted as a consultant and supporter of Global Service Corps and became a full-time GSC staff member in 2007.

Danielle Corciullo - Programs and Special Projects Coordinator
Danielle graduated from Fairfield University in 2007 with a B.A. in Psychology and an English minor.  After taking a year off to gain work experience in social services in Ithaca, NY, Danielle attended the University of Connecticut School of Social Work and received her MSW with a concentration in casework.  She has experience in individual, group, and family counseling and has worked in a variety of placements with a diverse range of people.  Aside from her clinical work, Danielle also has an interest in international development, travel, study, and cultural exchange.  She deeply values the tolerance and appreciation that come from experiencing other cultures through their people, customs, and history.  Danielle moved to San Francisco in August 2010 and began working with GSC in January 2011.

Jack Long - Accounting Consultant

Betty Wong - Administrative and Special Projects Intern
Betty graduated from the University of California, San Diego in 2012 with a B.A. in International Studies, focusing on Political Science and Economics. She has always enjoyed doing volunteer work locally, but the classes she took at UCSD opened her eyes to the problems and development work that needs to be done around the world. She is currently living in San Francisco and, although she loves it here, is hoping to volunteer abroad in the near future. Betty started interning at GSC in July and hopes to pursue a career in community development, either abroad or at home.

Anna Wolde-Yohannes - Administrative and Marketing Intern
Anna was born and raised in California, but has been fortunate enough to have traveled to countries in the Latin American, European and African regions since a very young age. Through travel she developed an awareness and sensitivity to different cultures, foods, and customs around the world. She is currently a Liberal Studies major at San Francisco State University with a minor in Political Science. Since attending SFSU she has taken a strong interest in subjects including Ethnic Studies, Anthropology, and Sociology. She chose Liberal Studies because it allows her to expand her knowledge in a variety of disciplines. She plans to graduate in Spring 2013, soon after which she would like to work abroad on a long-term basis. Anna began interning at GSC in August in hopes of developing her career skills within the non-profit sector.
