What is our Team-based program?
- Requires a three-year commitment from your organization coinciding with our three-year grant cycle with the Corporation for National & Community Service
- 5 or more members can be awarded to your organization
- Members must serve full time: 40 hours per week for 10.5 months, and completion of 1,700 hours during their term of service
- You are responsible for providing project orientation, WSC core competency training, direct supervisory support, mentorship, and skill-building throughout the program year
In return for your investment in the WSC AmeriCorps program, your member(s) will come with a passion for serving others and making a difference in your community, while wanting to learn skills they can use in their professional career.
Your members will be eligible for WSC health care coverage, a monthly living allowance, and -upon successful completion of a service term- an education award.
