Be part of our exciting project!

Applications are being accepted now at my.americorps.gov to join AmeriCorps and our great project.

This is an opportunity to create a community program that could start in Wilmington, Delaware, and grow across the country.

This project – to be planned and presented by team members – focuses on improving seniors’ health, fitness, nutrition and interaction with technology.

Those who join our AmeriCorps program will plan and provide programs for residents at the ministry’s affordable senior housing complexes of Sacred Heart Village I & II and the Village of St. John. Members’ other work will include planning the project’s long-term continuation and strategy for its use helping seniors elsewhere.

We look forward to AmeriCorps members enjoying and thriving in a supportive setting of personal growth, leadership development, skill enhancement, new connections, a sense of accomplishment and belonging to something important that improves seniors’ lives.

To learn more, contact The Ministry of Caring’s AmeriCorps Program Coordinator Kim Fisher by email kfisher@ministryofcaring.org.

Our AmeriCorps team has six half-time members eligible for a living allowance and those who complete their service get education awards toward student loans or tuition at qualifying institutions.

Our program is supported by the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services’ Division of State Service Centers, State Office of Volunteerism.

We deeply appreciate the generous service of AmeriCorps members working alongside our staff and clients, sharing our core belief that “the poor should never be treated poorly” and helping lift our poorest neighbors with dignity, respect and love.

If you have questions about the program, please contact Kim Fisher at kfisher@ministryofcaring.org.
