[BSW] FW: Fall 2017 Social Work Positions with CitySquare AmeriCorps

[Janis Cirkles]

I have 20 fall positions available with CitySquare AmeriCorps this year! I appreciate you sharing this opportunity with A&M Commerce social work students!

Community Needs AmeriCorps Member

AmeriCorps is a national community service program that allows thousands of Americans to give back to their community and get paid to do it! CitySquare's Fall 2017 AmeriCorps members serve vulnerable populations in Dallas, Fort Worth, Farmer's Branch and Mesquite.  Members serve to fulfill neighbors' needs regarding food, housing, case management, workforce skill development and/or life skills training. Our placement agencies for Fall 2017 include Austin Street Center, CitySquare, Metrocrest Services, Sharing Life Community Outreach, and Workers Defense Project.

Fall 2017 positions are available in a variety of service settings; however primary duties in each setting include providing economically disadvantaged and/or homeless neighbors with community referrals related to food, mental and physical health services, transportation, housing, employment,  and other needs as determined through intake and assessment. These duties may be executed either in a single meeting or through ongoing support, depending on the program. This service opportunity is highly interpersonal, and requires that members serve well with others. Members must be able to accommodate changing service conditions and diverse points of view.
