Subject: Spring semester positions with CitySquare AmeriCorps

Good morning Ms. Cirkles,

We have 10 positions available with CitySquare AmeriCorps for the spring semester! 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 Spring 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, financial empowerment, 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, elderly, and/or homeless neighbors with community referrals related to food, mental and physical health, 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 MLK 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).
