Colleagues,

Opportunities in Americorps.

Beginning in January - Slots Still Available in Houston, Northwestern
Indiana, Hartford, Ft. Lauderdale, and Mobile

Gain invaluable experience in non-profit management and literacy!
The Literacy*AmeriCorps Capacity Builders Program of the National Alliance
of Urban Literacy Coalitions is engaging people to help create the solid
infrastructure for literacy service delivery that is necessary for the
systemic change to support 100% literacy in this country.  Work with
coalitions at the local level or with the national organization
headquartered in Houston.



This one-year, national service program is hiring full-time (1700
hours/year) members

for the 2004 program year.  Literacy*AmeriCorps members will work on a daily
basis to increase the capacity of coalitions by bringing powerful
stakeholders to the table, cultivating funding opportunities and resources
for service activities; coordinating public awareness campaigns, conducting
needs assessments and other surveys; creating and improving organizational
systems; managing volunteers through recruiting, training, supporting and
recognizing them; and serving as liaisons between coalitions and service
providers.



Literacy*AmeriCorps members earn a $9,900 stipend and upon completion of
their service term, a $4,725 education award that can be used to pay tuition
or student loans. Healthcare, childcare, and loan forbearance is available
for those who qualify.  All members receive yearlong training. The program
starts January 2004. For more information and application instructions,
please contact Tracy Fesenmyer, Literacy*AmeriCorps Capacity Builders
Program Coordinator at, (713) 961-7445 or tracy.fesenmyer@naulc.org.
