The Lewis-Clark Service Corps AmeriCorps program is looking for volunteers to serve non-profit, community or human service organizations, and also is looking for a part-timer member to work as a volunteer coordinator for the Lewiston-Clarkston Partners Habitat for Humanity.
AmeriCorps volunteers earn an education award to help pay for their post-secondary education. After volunteers complete a minimum number of service hours and meet certain AmeriCorps requirements, they will receive an education award for their service.
There are two classifications for AmeriCorps volunteers. One classification will give a $1,000 education award for 300 volunteer hours served by Aug. 31, 2007. The other classification will award $1,250 for 450 volunteer hours completed by the same date.
To be eligible for the monetary award, a volunteer must be 17 years of age or older, be a high school graduate or have a GED, and be a U.S. or legal resident.
The AmeriCorps term of service requires a successful completion of the 300 or 450 service hours, attend the AmeriCorps orientation prior to their volunteer service, attend and participate in AmeriCorps team meetings, and plan, develop and participate in three community service projects with the AmeriCorps team.
The Habitat for Humanity volunteer coordinator must serve 900 hours in a 12-month period. The coordinator receives a $5,300 living allowance and a $2,362 education award. Health insurance and child-care assistance are provided if income guidelines are met.
Applications for the AmeriCorps program and the volunteer coordinator position are available online.
