About AmeriCorps: Snohomish County
|
|
The AmeriCorps Program of Snohomish County has a ten year history of getting things done in our community. Every year 18 members of all ages and from many backgrounds volunteer at high schools and non-profit organizations to provide at-risk teens with leadership and development skills. Members provide mentoring, tutoring, job preparedness, enrichment activities, service-learning, etc. Members also recruit and work with youth and adult volunteers.
Members serve full-time for 10-months starting in September. 80% of a member’s time is spent working with youth and volunteers; 20% is spent receiving professional development from AmeriCorps Program staff and other trainers.
AmeriCorps members make significant contributions to host sites, the youth served at host sites, and the community - contributions that extend beyond their 10-month service year.
