The Genesee County AmeriCorps is looking for host site agencies.
True to its motto, AmeriCorps is “Getting Things Done” in Genesee, Orleans and Wyoming counties.
The Genesee County Youth Bureau has begun planning for year eight of the program, which starts Oct. 1, contingent on the receipt of federal funding from the Corporation for National and Community Service.
Agencies have utilized AmeriCorps members for a variety of projects. Assignments include activities that fall under one or more of these categories: youth development/ mentoring; volunteer recruitment; and public safety/community outreach.
Host sites complete a proposal which outlines the duties for each position. Members can create new programs or enhance existing services, and their work can benefit different parts of the organization.
Proposals requesting members to begin serving this fall are due by June 15.
Sites will be selected and notified in early July. Member recruitment will begin at that time. Proposals for members to serve in the summer of 2012 are due in March, 2012 but can be submitted sooner.
Please contact Kathy Frank at 344-3960 or kfrank@co.genesee.ny.us for further information or to request the proposal form. The form can also be downloaded from the Youth Bureau page on the Genesee County web site: www.co.genesee.ny.us
