NC AFTERSCHOOL CORPS SERVICE YEAR POSITIONS

The NC Afterschool Corps is a team of AmeriCorps VISTA members who serve with a college, university, or community-based organization to build the capacity of afterschool programs that serve low-income children and families. North Carolina Campus Compact is currently recruiting candidates to serve in these one-year, full-time placements at selected sites across our network.

NC Afterschool Corps members will work to recruit and train afterschool volunteers, increase funding and resources to these programs, and expand local awareness of the value of afterschool. Corps members will also enhance civic and community engagement by implementing “Design for Change,” a project-based, service-learning curriculum that empowers young people to solve local problems through design-thinking and action. Several placement sites are seeking candidates with Spanish language skills!

Candidates must be able to attend an in-person Pre-Service Orientation July 16-19, 2018 in Orlando, FL. (Travel & expenses will be paid by AmeriCorps VISTA.) The official first day of service will be July 20, 2018. The year-long service term will end on July 19, 2019.
