The AmeriCorps STEM Specialist will spend about 10-15 hours each week assisting with hands-on STEM education and assisting with other activities at the Boys & Girls Club located at Belknap Elementary. Schedules are available Monday-Thursday afternoons between approximately 2:00 pm and 6:00 pm from now until May (school year).

The individual selected for this position will serve as an AmeriCorps member. AmeriCorps is a national service opportunity, not just a regular job. You will be expected to complete a minimum of 100 service hours throughout your term. This is a great opportunity to add service and hands-on teaching experience to your resume! This is an especially great opportunity for someone who is pursuing an education or STEM-related career.

Compensation Details:

This position will provide a living allowance of $1,400 paid over the term of service. The $1,400 stipend will be split up and paid on a bi-weekly (every two weeks) basis during your term of service. NOTE: You will not be paid hourly.

In addition, an Education Award of $388.03 will be awarded upon successful completion. The Segal AmeriCorps Education Award is a post-service benefit received by individuals who complete terms of national service in approved AmeriCorps programs. This award (similar to a Pell Grant) can be used to repay qualified student loans and to pay current educational expenses at eligible institutions.

Between the living stipend (paid directly to you) and the Education Award (paid to your institution on your behalf), your potential total compensation is $1,788.03.
