How does CLUBService work?
You may earn a $2362.50 award for 900 hours of service over a one or two-year period. You may earn this amount for up to two terms of service. This award can be used to help pay student loans, to finance college, graduate school or vocational training. All Title IV institutions or federally-backed loans are eligible. Participants must be a U.S. citizen, national or lawful permanent resident alien.
How does the service count?
Boys & Girls Club teens and young alumni are making significant contributions in Clubs and communities. CLUBService recognizes these efforts by allowing hours of service to count towards an AmeriCorps term. Getting Things Done is the motto for AmeriCorps members. CLUBService members are getting things done postively for kids in our Boys & Girls Clubs!
What do CLUBService members do?
Contributions made by CLUBService participants are as diverse as the services provided by Boys & Girls Clubs. CLUBService members serve in the following AmeriCorps priority areas:
· Educational Support Activities
· Public Safety
· Member Development|
CLUBService members may work as tutors, mentors for younger children, instructional programming, computer instruction, program delivery and much more.
