AmeriCorps

Could you use an extra staff person...or two...or three...in your organization?

The AmeriCorps state grant is open! An article in a recent newsletter published by Indiana's Office of Faith-based and Community Initiatives describes the program as this:

"AmeriCorp grants are generally awarded to eligible organizations to recruit, train and manage AmeriCorp members who address unmet community needs. AmeriCorp members are individuals who engage in community service. Members may receive a living allowance during their term of service. Upon successful completion of their service members receive an education aware from the National Service Trust."

One of our clients was recently notified they would benefit from the support of three AmeriCorp members over the next year. Using the talents that each AmeriCorp member brings to the table, the organization has expanded its plans for 2007-08, including increased fund raising efforts!
