Cultivating People Power
Serving those that serve our community
Team Up harnesses the power of people for local organizations needing extra hands. We do this in two ways:
We coordinate the placement of AmeriCorps members at local nonprofits, schools, and government agencies, often hiring to meet a program’s specific needs.
We recruit and coordinate the placement of local volunteers looking to make their community a better place using their unique skill sets at connectswco.org.
Team Up AmeriCorps
National Service Resources, Tangible Local Impact
Through collaborative service, Team Up AmeriCorps members:
Expand effectiveness of Southwest Colorado organizations.
Develop their own professional skills and passions.
Support people and communities to thrive.
Become an AmeriCorps Host Site
Build your organization’s capacity and expand its reach by hosting a Team Up AmeriCorps member.
Team Up AmeriCorps Host sites are community organizations that share our common goal of improving the lives of our local youth and families. This can include nonprofits, schools, and government agencies.
Host sites utilize Team Up AmeriCorps members to help their organization expand or implement new projects or programs. Team Up recruits, vets, and trains our AmeriCorps members to provide the best service possible for our Host Sites.
For their part, the Host Site provides day-to-day supervision and action plans for the AmeriCorps member onsite.
Applications for Fall/Year-Round positions are accepted on a rolling basis.
AmeriCorps Service Opportunities
Trying to fulfill an internship requirement as a degree seeker? Looking for professional development in work-based learning? Wanting to serve your community through a local nonprofit? Team Up AmeriCorps may be a great fit!
AmeriCorps members receive a living stipend paid twice monthly throughout their service, with an additional educational bonus paid out at the end of a successfully-completed service term to be used at any Title IV institution.
