ALLY PROGRAM

 

Through our signature AmeriCorps program, we identify talented young adults from diverse and under-represented backgrounds who have a passion to make a difference, and we help them turn that passion into a viable career path.  

   

Our 10 month-long AmeriCorps program combines:

Full-time paid apprenticeships in nonprofit organizations in their communities where they:

  • serve four days per week
  •  create, improve and expand services that address diverse issues, including youth development, education, public health, economic development and the environment
  • earn a monthly stipend of $1,300 to $1,800
  • receive healthcare, childcare, student loan deferment and a post-service education award of $4,725

 A rigorous leadership development curriculum
delivered by community leaders, practitioners and educators, which includes:

  • intensive weekly skill training and leadership development seminars
  • Critical feedback, reflection, and personal coaching toward individual performance and professional goals
  • community building and team projects with a diverse cohort of peers
  • presentations of learning at the end of the year to demonstrate how one met the learning outcomes of the program
