This event is an excellent opportunity for organizations looking to expand their impact and explore new capacity-building strategies through AmeriCorps support!
This session will cover:
How AmeriCorps Members build nonprofit capacity through outreach, volunteer coordination, and program development
How to become a Host Site (an organization that partners with the Community Builder Program to receive an AmeriCorps Member)
The application and onboarding process
Host Site responsibilities and benefits
Since its launch in 2019, the Community Builder Program has placed 53 AmeriCorps Members across 49 Host Sites, contributing over 7,500 service hours in the past year alone. The program allows organizations to benefit from AmeriCorps service while SBPC handles the logistics and administrative responsibilities.
