Are you involved in a volunteer assignment, service-learning class, work study community based job or an internship with a non-profit community agency?
Are you considering doing something to serve your community?
If you answer yes, you may be eligible for a scholarship program!The AmeriCorps HELP Program is designed to give students like you a "thank you" for serving your community. You simply enroll in the program, do your hours at your site, turn in your time sheets monthly and complete a couple pages related to what you have done. When your hours are completed, you get a voucher to be used towards future education or school loans. It's as good at it sounds and there really is no catch. As long as you do your hours and turn in your forms, it all works pretty smoothly.
You may choose a 450-hour program to be completed in 1 year or 900 hours to be completed in 2 years. Appropriate "sites" need to be non-profit organizations that do some sort of service to the community. If you are not sure if you are in an appropriate program, please call us to confirm.
Please see the attached flier for our mandatory orientation dates or call for additional dates if you can't make these listed. Please call Gina at 818-677-4106 with any questions or to RSVP for the orientation.
Thank you for serving your community and your interest in this program!
