Host an AmeriCorps Member
Apply to host a full time AmeriCorps Member with Campus Compact of Oregon!
All Campus Compact of Oregon programs are committed to promoting racial equity and social justice, and eliminating inequities that exist in Oregon in postsecondary access and success for students of color and first generation students. National service members are placed at colleges, universities, K12 schools, or education nonprofits and work with a supervisor at this host site. Each of our programs achieve this mission in a slightly different way.
If you are looking to add human capacity to your team and build or strengthen efforts to support educational equity, becoming an AmeriCorps host site might be right for you! Supervisors receive training from Campus Compact of Oregon and support throughout the year. Colleges, universities, K-12 schools, and education nonprofits are all eligible to apply. You must be a member of Campus Compact of Oregon in order to host a national service member, but you may apply without membership status and join if and when you are accepted!
Our three AmeriCorps programs will release applications for host sites for the 2019-20 program year in Spring 2019. If you are interested in applying, please contact the Program Manager at any time for additional information or to discuss if a partnership is the right fit for you.
