Opportunities with AmeriCorps for Reentry Success (OARS)
 
 
 
The OARS program utilizes national service participants to address offender needs surrounding reentry. This program provides training, and real world professional experience and learning opportunities within the correctional environment. National service participants will help decrease barriers to employment and continued education for persons incarcerated in New Mexico prisons. Members provide academic tutoring and facilitate workshops on financial literacy, life skills, and family reunification. To apply, please fill out an AmeriCorps online application with references, and e-mail a resume and cover letter to conor.coleman@state.nm.us. The cover letter should explain why you are applying to become an AmeriCorps volunteer in a prison environment, and what qualifications you have that you believe will assist you in your service with this program. We are accepting candidates to start after the 1/31/2014 application deadline.
