AmeriCorps VISTA - summer associate

Save to Favorites

The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of Charleston is looking for energetic individuals who love kids!

The Summer Associate VISTA (SAV) will plan, implement, supervise, and evaluate activities and field trips provided to youth ages 6-18 in program area such as Education, Social Recreation, Arts & Crafts, and Physical Education during our 8-week summer program (June 10 - August 2, 2019). There will be one week of training, June 3-7, 2019. The hours are Monday - Friday, 7:30am-4:30pm or 8:30am-5:30pm. Must be available all weeks.

SAV Criteria:

• SA must be at least 18 years of age at the time of placement
• SA must not be listed on the National Sex Offenders Public Registry
• SA must commit and serve on a full-time basis for 9 weeks, a minimum of 35 hours per week
• SA do not receive any person/medical days off
• SA may have outside employment during the project period (cannot exceed 20 hours per week)
• SA can do DIRECT SERVICE!

About SAV:

This is not a paid job, rather a service position. A living allowance/stidend is given to cover necessities during service:

9 weeks (63 days) will receive a total of $2,124.99 and a $1,289 Segal AmeriCorps Education Award or Summer End of Service Cash Stipend.

The Summer Associate program allows organizations to supplement their anti-poverty activities with an infusion of "hands-on volunteers" during the summer months. Unlike year-round VISTAs, SAVs can/are expected to perform direct service activities with children/youth. SAVS may serve as mentors, tutors and coordinators. The summer program is a prime opportunity to introduce individuals, particularly college-age students, to national service with the hope it will lead to their participation in full-time programs later.
