Each week the Volunteer Center will highlight an exciting skill-based volunteer (SBV) opportunity found on our Volunteer Solutions website. This week's SBV opportunity comes from Goodwill:
AmeriCorps Workers Needed!
Looking for an opportunity to use your skills, knowledge and creativity (skill-based volunteering!) to make a change in your community?
Goodwill Industries of Greater Grand Rapids has 15 Full Time openings for its AmeriCorps program starting October 1, 2010. They are looking to fill 12 full time positions in the Grand Rapids area, and place 1 full time member in our offices in Big Rapids, Greenville, and Mt. Pleasant.
There are three types of positions available:
- 2 Career Center Instructors (bilingual a plus),

All positions require a one year commitment, the ability to work 33-36 hours per week (Monday thru Friday), efficiency with Microsoft office 2003, the ability to create educational resources, ease in front of a class, flexibility, creativity, and the desire to have a positive impact on the community.
Benefits include: annual living stipend of $11,800, company paid medical insurance (for the member only), an education award of $5350 (upon completion of the 1700 hours of member service), professional experience, personal development, networking opportunities, and much more.

As a long-time community leader, Heart of West Michigan United Way collaborates with other organizations throughout West Michigan to advance the common good - that is, to direct change and create opportunities for a good life for all who live here. We focus our efforts in three critical areas: education, income and health, which are the building blocks to a successful life. A quality education that leads to a stable job, enough to support a family through retirement, with good health at every stage. Our goal is to work toward long-lasting changes that truly make an impact. So while we support those who have fallen on hard times, we also work to identify the root causes of problems. Then we build preventative systems that keep those problems from happening in the first place.
Comments, like all content, are held to The Rapidian standards of civility and open identity as outlined in our Terms of Use and Values Statement. We reserve the right to remove any content that does not hold to these standards.
