AmeriCorps seeking New Members in the Upstate

AmeriCorps is seeking new members in the Upstate of South Carolina. AmeriCorps members assist low-wealth individuals in becoming part of the cycle of success, where children start school prepared to learn and go on to graduate. Well-educated graduates find good jobs and create stable homes, and children from stable homes continue the cycle because they start school on track and prepared to learn. AmeriCorps members accomplish this by serving 1700 hours that focus on financial stability. Members will be matched with a host agency during the interview process. Members will coach clients in ways to increase their personal income, build savings, and gain and sustain assets. A variety of positions are available with different partner agencies in Greenville, Anderson, Laurens, and Pickens counties. AmeriCorps members will serve Aug. 7, 2018 through July 31, 2019. This includes a mandatory two-week orientation. To learn more, visit www.unitedwaygc.org/americorps-programs.
