Marshfield Clinic AmeriCorps (Coalition)

Marshfield Clinic AmeriCorps places members with host site coalitions throughout northwestern Wisconsin to help “Get Things Done”. The ultimate goal of this program is to strengthen the capacity of coalitions and youth serving organizations and achieve positive outcomes related to substance abuse prevention among youth ages 8 – 18. Members will implement prevention activities and engage in direct service with youth. Members will provide support to learning events and will assist in efforts to recruit, mobilize and recognize volunteers. Applicants for AmeriCorps member positions must be willing to serve for the duration of the term of service (1700 hours minimum), averaging approximately 35- 40 hours a week. Members must also be able to handle the financial commitment made by accepting the position. Applicants must be 21 years of age by November 30, 2012 possess a high school diploma or GED/HSED and agree to criminal background checks and Department of Motor Vehicles check. Members receive a living allowance of approximately $504 (gross) every two weeks over their term of service, along with medical healthcare insurance (premium paid by Marshfield Clinic), free service gear, childcare assistance (if qualified), and vacation time. Upon successful completion of the term of service, members receive a $5,550 educational award. Members have the option of serving up to four terms and earning the equivalent of two full-time educational awards over their lifetime. Members have up to seven years to utilize educational awards. Marshfield Clinic AmeriCorps members are overseen by host site supervisors and provided with regular support and direction from the Marshfield Clinic AmeriCorps program manager and staff. Members will have a unique opportunity to build their personal portfolio, develop their skills and serve their community through a year of service.
