OVERVIEW
Thank you for your interest in serving a second year with AmeriCorps and CivicSpark program for the 2023-24 Service Year! Complete this application if you are interested in returning to your current placement site or serving a different placement.
SAME SITE (SUBJECT TO CHANGE): Serving for a second year at the same site is contingent on CivicWell approving the partner’s project, the project partner’s interest, and their ability to provide the additional $5,000 for a Fellow serving for a second year at their site. Partners provide this additional $5,000 as these Fellows substantially understand their agency and project and are able to take on greater responsibility. If interested, Fellows should talk to their RC prior to submitting an application. The RC will discuss the possibility with the project partner and follow up with the Fellow. To apply, you will then need to submit an abbreviated application and complete a shortened interview with a CivicSpark staff member. If approved, CivicSpark Fellows returning for a second term with their same site will receive a $5,000 increase as an additional stipend provided by the program to make the overall amount $39,000 (before taxes). Due to the maximum living stipend set by AmeriCorps, CivicSpark is currently navigating how to include the additional amount provided by Partners to Fellows.
DIFFERENT SITE: Fellows interested in serving at a different site will need to let their RC know, and submit their application. Upon submission, the application will be added to the pool of candidates and shared as appropriate with partners for consideration along with other candidates. While we assume returning Fellows will be highly desirable candidates, it is ultimately up to the partners who they interview and make an offer to. If hired, you would receive the $34,000 stipend (before taxes) along with the incoming cohort, and as from a partner perspective, you would be part of the general pool of candidates whom they would need to onboard to their organization, project, and potentially subject area.
