In the
Four Corners region, the work that UCAN Serve
AmeriCorps members do is as diverse as the
individuals themselves. UCAN members can serve in
three different goal areas:
-
education
-
public health and safety
-
community strengthening
Depending on your campus program,
individuals may tutor and mentor K-12 children and
teens, recruit and train volunteers for non-profit
organizations, develop plans to revitalize
neighborhoods and the environment, serve in
community health organizations, develop and promote
service programs on campus, and develop partnerships
with local community agencies, among many other
service projects.
Oftentimes, members complete their UCAN Serve hours
as service through their academic program.
Many
Careers in the Common Good programs have an
academic service component that places students in
nonprofit organizations as part of community-based
learning. These academic service hours may count
toward a term of service in AmeriCorps.
Additionally, your school may have service programs
in place,
have a Center for Service Learning, or may allow you
to choose your own service project. As an AmeriCorps
member you may attend statewide workshops and
conferences and participate in leadership trainings
and service events.
