Member Duties : Members will assist with the existing case management services by providing more intensive support and life skills training to address specific difficulties the client is having regarding his/her housing and personal stability goals, helping the client make significant, lasting changes in their situations. Activities will be determined by the needs and goals of each client. AmeriCorps members assess for client needs, develop action plans to meet goals, and provide support to work with clients toward achieving their goals. In addition, members educate the community-at-large on issues related to homelessness and access the support of community volunteers. Members will work to educate the community to educate about the issues of homelessness and their client population and recruit, train and coordinate volunteers who can support client, site, and project needs.
