Within the Employment program AmeriCorps Members will provide individual assistance and classroom instruction to individuals seeking employment services. They will support data collection and analysis for students. AmeriCorps Members will continue to assist the Employment & Citizenship programs to increase capacity and help serve individuals who do not meet eligibility criteria for publicly funded programs by recruiting and training volunteers and teaching English, computer skills, civics and job readiness to clients. As our Employment program is accessed by various recent immigrant groups, AmeriCorps Members may assist with building relationships and conducting outreach to reach newly arrived immigrant communities, expanding the populations served by ACRS.
