[Janis Cirkles]

We have 7 positions available with CitySquare AmeriCorps for the summer! I appreciate you sharing this with students in the social work programs at A&M Commerce!

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 AmeriCorps Summer 2017 members serve vulnerable populations in the Dallas area and in Farmer's Branch.  Members serve to fulfill neighbors' needs regarding food, housing, case management, workforce skill development and/or life skills training.

Spring 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. Members also attend service projects and events, such as Nelson Mandela Day of Service and Life After AmeriCorps training.
Members receive a $2,800 living allowance (broken down and paid in biweekly installments) and a $1,527 education award (contingent upon successful completion of term).
