We currently have 25 positions open in 15 non-profit agencies located throughout the Twin Cities (MN). CTEP place both full and part-time (paid) AmeriCorps members in community service projects. Most placements support technology literacy and access programs; programs that help new technology users improve basic or intermediary technology skills. Members also help agencies design and implement new programs to better serve low income and new immigrant youth and adults. If you, your constituents, volunteers, friends, or family members are interested in providing a year of service to your community, this is a great project; CTEP AmeriCorps members do NOT need any special technology skills to join! You must be 17 years of age and a permanent US resident to serve. AmeriCorps members receive a living allowance ($11,100 annually), paid health insurance and child care, training, and members that complete their service year receive an additional educational award ($4725.00 for full-time members, pro-rated for part time). Members are also offered professional development and leadership opportunities during their service year. For information about these new AmeriCorps positions, visit http://www.technologypower.org, or email info@technologypower.org, or call CTEP staff at 651-556-1384. Our project year begins Sept.1, 2007 and runs through August 31, 2008. Interested applicants should contact us TODAY to secure the best placements. -- Catherine Settanni, Project Coordinator CTEP- The Community Technology Empowerment Project http://www.technologypower.org
