NCLR AmeriCorps Volunteership
NCLR
seeks to increase the number of Latinas and Latinos involved in national
service in their communities. Institutions such as schools, nonprofit
organizations, governments, and churches help shape the civic engagement
behaviors of tomorrow’s adults.
Now in its 11th year, the NCLR AmeriCorps*National Direct program helps
reach these goals. AmeriCorps strengthens communities through projects
that address education, public safety, the environment, and other unmet
human needs. NCLR AmeriCorps members serve at local nonprofits, public
agencies, and faith-based organizations, helping to build a culture
of citizenship, service, and responsibility. Through their service,
members gain valuable job skills and experience, and life skills like
teamwork and communication; they learn to set goals, and to challenge
themselves. Members also earn an education award to pursue a college
education or pay back student loans.
At Instituto, the NCLR AmeriCorps
volunteers dedicate a great deal of their time to the advancement and
cultural empowerment of our student and Chicago community by supporting
many of our services in workforce training, adult education, citizenship
preparation, and youth development. Their commitment to civic
engagement and community participation inspires our participants to
reach their fullest educational and developmental potential.
