Housing and Community Development, Salt Lake County

What is AmeriCorps: AmeriCorps is a voluntary civil society program supported by the U.S. federal government, foundations, corporations, and other donors by engaging adults in public service work, with a goal of "helping others and meeting critical needs in the community." The program is often seen the domestic Peace Corps. Members commit to full-time or part-time positions offered by a network of nonprofit community organizations and public agencies, to fulfill assignments in the fields of economics, education, public safety, health care, and environmental protection.

"Getting it Done" the Duties: Our AmeriCorps member's activities and interventions will provide services under the "AmeriCorps Economic Opportunity focus area"; which includes housing and employment opportunities to the homelessness community and formerly homeless residents. Members will serve under the direction of case management teams throughout the community’s private non-profit organizations and government divisions.
