AmeriCorps Internship SY22-23
Are you interested in increasing the capacity of your after school program?
Applications are now open to Iowa-based after school learning programs that want to enhance their capacity to develop high-quality programs that promote STEM learning amongst students of color in Iowa. STEM programs will consist of innovative and tailored approaches that adhere to the Dimensions of Success (DoS) observation tool, a nationally recognized, best practice framework used to track the quality of learning opportunities such as the Iowa Afterschool Alliance's AmeriCorps Program.
What we’re looking for in host sites:
· Support with recruiting and interviewing potential AmeriCorps members for placement in your program.
· Ability to supervise the AmeriCorps member, including coaching and mentoring to meet program goals; approving time sheets; discipline; and role modeling good collaboration, communication, and leadership.
· Provide a strong staff orientation to the program, as well as ongoing professional development throughout the service period.
· Commitment to evaluation: The Iowa Afterschool Alliance will administer brief pre-and post-program evaluations to assess each site's capacity and access to high-quality lesson plans.
· Commitment to ensuring a good Member experience.
How much will this cost?
The cost-share to host a Member (the amount you will be responsible for as a host site) is $6,141 for the entire program duration, September through June which will amount to 900 hours of service.
From September through June, AmeriCorps members will each receive a stipend of $8,600 and upon completion of service an education award of $3,247, the equivalent of $13.16 per hour.
Where do I sign up?
Complete this short survey to tell us about your program and express your interest in the STEM AmeriCorps Internship 2022-23. The Iowa Afterschool Alliance will consider all interested programs and make our decision for host sites by early August 2022. In August, there will be an informational webinar for these selected host sites to learn more about the program and have their questions answered.
An answer of "no" to any question on this survey is not necessarily disqualifying. Please answer honestly according to the information you have at this time.
If you have any questions regarding this opportunity, please contact Program Director, Heidi Brown, hbrown@sppg.com with your inquiries.
We hope to hear from you soon!
