Thirty AmeriCorps Members will be Placed with Community Organizations
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Volunteer Maryland opened the application period for nonprofits to apply for volunteer coordinators during the Volunteer Maryland 2022-2023 service year.“Through the work of our AmeriCorps members, Volunteer Maryland’s capacity building activities help our partners recruit volunteers, enhance or expand the delivery of services, and generate additional resources that organizations might not otherwise have readily available to them,” said Volunteer Maryland Director Sharon Lewis. “Our partners are making a difference in the community.”Organizations that are interested in hosting AmeriCorps members must apply by March 4, 2022. Thirty AmeriCorps members will be placed at nonprofits across Maryland for eleven months. Before applying for the program, organizations are encouraged to attend one of Volunteer Maryland’s free virtual workshops on Feb. 1, Feb. 8, Feb. 15, Feb. 22 from 10 a.m. to noon each day. Workshop attendees will learn about the benefits of partnering with Volunteer Maryland, complete a needs assessment, and network. The Rural Maryland Council will also share information about its grant programs. As Maryland and the rest of the nation continue to experience health, economic and other impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, access to volunteer resources is particularly important for nonprofits that are supporting Marylanders right now.This year’s Volunteer Maryland partner sites include:
