Today is the last day of service for our full-time AmeriCorps members at CalSERVES. They have all done a tremendous job in serving our community. Thank you all for your incredible devotion and commitment to helping children!
As we look to next year, we have many opportunities for participation and service. Please consider joining our team for 12-13 - it's going to be another stellar year! Below are positions we have available:
AmeriCorps Service
At CalSERVES’s project sites across California,
AmeriCorps members serve either full or part-time for 10-12 months,
providing more than 1,700 or 900 hours of service.
Service Scholars
Service Scholars is a service learning and internship program that connects skilled, passionate and dedicated college students with youth in after school programs to provide learning opportunities for all. Selected candidates serve as role models and bring focused, inspiring instruction to youth in one of four areas of specialty: Art, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), PE/Nutrition, or Literacy.
Over the course of two semesters, scholars will lead small groups of students through a series of lesson in their area of focus. For example, a Literacy Scholar might guide a 6th grade group in the creation of a school newspaper, while a STEM Scholar works with 5th graders in Lego Robotics, and the PE/Nutrition Scholar helps 2nd graders create a cookbook. Specialists will also support homework, snack/recess time and lead a weekly club in their specialty area.
After School Classroom Leader
After School Classroom Leaders will guide an after school classroom of 20 students through the CalSERVES after school program. Components of the after school day include homework help, snack/recess, literacy instruction, PE/nutrition, and math. Classroom Leaders will prepare hands on and engaging lessons that meet the needs of all students, including those with disabilities. The program will prioritize applicants with previous experience and success in the program.
