Summer of Service
Exciting "Extension" of the Summer of Service program!
AmeriCorps*Kansas is Collaborating with KSRE and Kansas PRIDE for Summer of Service
K-State Research and Extension (KSRE), Kansas PRIDE, and AmeriCorps*Kansas (sponsored by Kansas Campus Compact) are working to link college students returning home for the summer to work with youth in their home communities. Extension offices will be mentors to the students as they work as AmeriCorps members engaging youth in community development through leadership and service. Working through the AmeriCorps program, a college student would receive training, an education award, and a living wage in return for their service coordinating youth community development programs. College students and community members are encouraged to contact their County Extension offices to find out more about this Summer of Service experience.
Please see the "Youth Leadership and Community Development" article in the recent PRIDE Newsletter. If you know of someone from your community who would provide strong leadership for other local youth, and if you would be interested in learning more about serving as a host and mentor with this program, please contact Dan Kahl or Lynda Bachelor.
KSRE, Kansas PRIDE, and the AmeriCorps*Kansas program is also developing state-wide participation in this year's National and Global Youth Service Day. For more information, please see the link below and contribute your efforts on this national day of service.
