The
Door County YMCA and the Boys & Girls Club of Door County are excited to
announce that they will each be hiring a full time AmeriCorp staff person to
support their volunteer engagement efforts from October 21, 2014 – August 31,
2015. The program, developed on behalf of Volunteer Wisconsin, a coalition of
local, regional and state organizations, serves as the state umbrella
organization dedicated to volunteerism and is administered by the Marshfield
Clinic. The job descriptions will vary
based on each organizations’ needs, but will ultimately involve recruitment of
volunteers, coordination of volunteer database information and working with
volunteers on various events/programs to better serve our community. Volunteer
Wisconsin AmeriCorps will place forty-eight (48) full-time AmeriCorps members
in nonprofit agencies throughout the state to support the development of
organizational capacity to engage volunteers.
Candidates
must be 21 years of age by October 21, 2014 and must have a HS Diploma or GED
certificate and pass a criminal background check. New hires will attend mandatory orientation
on October 21-24, 2014 and midterm training on January 12-14, 2015. All expenses related to these training
seminars will be covered (housing, meals and mileage). A living allowance of approximately $536
(gross) every two weeks over their term of service, along with medical
healthcare insurance (premium paid by Marshfield Clinic), free service gear,
child care assistance (if qualified) are also benefits of this unique opportunity. Upon completion of their term of service,
members will receive a $5,645 education award.
This award can be used for loan repayment, future schooling costs or if
the candidate is over 55 years of age, can be gifted to a family member to
assist in their education expenses. What
a great way to give back to your grandchild!
