If you are a recent college grad looking for a way to gain skills and advance your career while making a difference, AmeriCorps could be just the thing. Social Capital Inc. has several AmeriCorps positions open with various organizations across Eastern Massachusetts that will begin this September. Right here in Woburn, there are still two spots available with the Boys & Girls Club of Woburn!
SCI AmeriCorps members serve full-time for ten months, and earn a stipend and educational award while getting great practical experience that can be a great steppingstone. In fact, over half of SCI AmeriCorps members wind up continuing to work at the nonprofit they are placed at, after their AmeriCorps year is done.
AmeriCorps members serve as either Volunteer Outreach Coordinators or Youth Leadership Coordinators. As Volunteer Outreach Coordinators, members conduct community outreach and use online communication in order to recruit volunteers and to connect citizens with the information they need to participate in civic life. As Youth Leadership Coordinators, members will implement a Youth Leadership curriculum that emphasizes a learning by doing approach that trains teenagers to organize projects that engage their peers in Community Service Learning (CSL) and other civic activities.
