Service Events in Michigan:  Each year, the Regional Russ Mawby Signature Service Projects bring hundreds of AmeriCorps members to various Michigan communities for a day of intensive service. By the end of the day, several projects are completed, visibly demonstrating the power of Michigan's AmeriCorps members in action. The 2017 projects include:

• Northern MI Russ Mawby SSP – May 19^th in Grayling
• Mid-MI Russ Mawby SSP – May 19^th in Lansing
• Flint/Tri-Cities Russ Mawby SSP – May 19^th in Flint
• U.P. Russ Mawby SSP – May 20^th in Hancock

• West MI Russ Mawby SSP – May 19^th  in Grand Rapids

• SE MI Russ Mawby SSP – May 20^th in Detroit

 

These projects will look different for each region, but they will all highlight the importance of AmeriCorps and national service. For a brief overview of each of the projects, as well as the registration link and point of contact, go to: https://tinyurl.com/rmssp-2017 (be sure to note the registration deadline!). We hope you can join us to “get things done” for Michigan!

Hi All,  October 16th is National Opening Day for AmeriCorps.  While our positions start all year round, AmeriCorps has reserved this Friday as a day where AmeriCorps members all across the country can unite and be sworn in as AmeriCorps members!  Join in the events, by contacting your state commission (or me to get their contact info) or you can just show your support by doing the things outlined in this link: http://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USCNCS/bulletins/11e6a70

Hi Sofia. I graduated in December and I have to start making payments for student loans in July. I was wondering if I still qualify for the forbearance and if I do where do I get the form at?

Great news, it looks like you won't need to do the FBI check anymore.  HR should have sent you an email about it yesterday, but email me directly at AmeriCorps@thesca.org if you didn't get that email.

Thanks Sofia. I haven't gotten fingerprinted yet. I just sent an email to humanresources@thesca.org asking if I should get them done now and get reimbursed later, or if I should go to a particular fingerprinting service to have them done for free.

Hi Abigail, great question about the fingerprinting cost.  You are definitely not responsible for paying for your fingerprints.  In fact AmeriCorps does not allow it.  If you have been asked to pay for them, you can contact humanresources@thesca.org to request a reimbursement.

Now that AmeriCorps is no longer accepting fingerprints from FieldPrint, are interns responsible for paying the cost to get fingerprinted?

The theme of this year’s White House Student Film Festival is “The Impact of Giving Back.” Let’s show them how national service gives back by flooding them with entries. Don’t forget to submit your entries before the February 2 deadline.
