Site Member Recruitment Process

How one program works with partner sites to recruit members

The AmeriCorps ACCESS Project at University of North Carolina Greensboro (Greensboro, NC) used this process in working with 30 site agencies in a dozen counties during 2007-08:

• Agencies submit an application and proposed member service descriptions to the AmeriCorps program
• AmeriCorps program director allocates member positions and approves service descriptions
• Agencies recruit and identify prospective members
• Agencies conduct initial interviews with eligible candidates
• Agencies instruct prospective members to schedule an appointment with AmeriCorps staff to complete paperwork and final interviews
• AmeriCorps program director approves the member site placements and offers positions to the selected members

ACCESS also encourages successful members to sign up for a second term. Learn more about this retention practice.
