This AmeriCorps position will serve as part of CEDO’s CONNECT AmeriCorps program. Our AmeriCorpsmembers receive training and provide direct service in support of program goals to expand culturally appropriate youth programming and family supports to close opportunity gaps in education and employment, and develop community and school engagement.
