ServiceWorks - powered by Public Allies in partnership with AmeriCorps, the Citi Foundation, and Points of Light - is a groundbreaking, national program that engages 16-24 year olds in Skill Building, Success Coaching, and Community Service Volunteering as strategies to help address barriers to youth economic opportunity within the San Francisco Bay Area.
Through ServiceWorks, program participants (Service Scholars) gain critical leadership and workplace skills, strengthened networks and community connections, AND the opportunity to apply those skills by volunteering and leading their own community service projects. Volunteers are being recruited as Skill Trainers and Success Coaches to engage Public Health Service Scholars.
Exact schedule, dates, and times are to be determined, but they will meet once a month.

SKILL TRAINER
Skill Trainers are motivated adults who ideally possess strong teaching and facilitation skills in one or more of the following areas: leadership, networking, project planning, diversity, professionalism, communication, problem solving, asset mapping.
Trainers will facilitate 1-5 workshops from our established curriculum to a group of 15-25 Service Scholars. Trainers typically dedicate 1-3 hours for preparation, then 1-2 hours to deliver one workshop to Service Scholars. Orientation, training and ongoing support are provided.
3 Skill Trainers are desired.
SUCCESS COACH
Success Coaching is an opportunity to build your coaching skills and gain mentoring experience. Success coaches will work one-on-one or in small groups with our Service Scholars to set goals, create individual work plans, and connect them to education and employment opportunities. An interactive set of activities is used as a basis for constructing positive coaching conversations. They also serve as accountability partners as the Service Scholars work to achieve the goals within the plan.
Success Coaches commit to working with their designated Service Scholar(s) for the duration of a program cycle (estimated at 1-3 months). They typically meet with Service Scholars 1-2 times per cycle and provide requested updates to program staff. Information about exact days of the week is forthcoming.
5+ Success Coaches are desired.
