Understanding Member Development: A Guide for Members

A two-page description of member development an AmeriCorps member experiences during his/her period of service

This resource was created by the Oregon State Service Corps (OSSC), a statewide AmeriCorps program that provides nonprofits, community and faith-based organizations, government agencies and schools with the opportunity to sponsor an AmeriCorps member. AmeriCorps members address significant issues in the areas of education, homeland security, public safety and human needs through direct service and volunteer mobilization.

Remember! Each AmeriCorps program creates specific objectives related to training and member development. Please read it carefully to eliminate and/or edit language or ideas not appropriate to your program, and to add training and member development activities specific to your program.

Use this resource to:

  • identify the types of training appropriate for your program.
  • compare your reporting requirements with an established program's reporting requirements.
  • develop a similar handout for your members.
