Calaveras County Veteran Services is currently
recruiting two part time or full time Veteran AmeriCorps volunteer
stipend positions as part of a Strength to Serve program. These positions start in October, 2014 through September 2015.
This
is an opportunity for Veterans in our community to serve for one year
in a volunteer position that supports other fellow Veterans, along with
their families in Calaveras County. Responsibilities will include
providing peer counseling, transportation and resourcing to isolated
Veterans.
These
positions are neither a job nor employment. AmeriCorps is a national
service position with a living allowance and benefits that include an
education award at the end of the year ($5,730 for full time, and
$2907.50 for part time), health insurance, and childcare if needed. If
the AmeriCorps is retired and not interested in going back to school –
they are able to transfer the education award to their children and/or
grandchildren for college expenses.
A
living allowance is paid semi-monthly over the 11 month service term,
and includes $550.00 per pay period for full time, and $181.82 for part
time per pay period.
If interested and you have some questions – don’t hesitate to call Donna Shadden, Veteran Services, at 209 754-6443, or e-mail Donna at DShadden@co.calaveras.ca.us.
