Host Site Eligibility
If you have any questions about the program, please contact Moira Delgado.
Eligible community host sites for the SVCC must be a nonprofit organization or government agency able to:
- Supervise two or more fellows providing direct service in at least one of the priority areas (K-12 education, food security and climate action).
- Participate in required training (five hours in July or August 2023).
- Track and report hours.
- Provide data regarding community outputs and outcomes.
Direct service generally refers to activities that provide a direct, measurable benefit to an individual, a group, or a community. At least 50% of the fellows’ time must be direct service. At least six hours per week needs to be in-person.
Focus Area Examples
| K-12 Education | Food Security | Climate Action |
|---|---|---|
| Direct service in this area is intended to support learning loss and barriers to learning due to the pandemic. Members will engage in tutoring, mentoring, family involvement and classroom teaching/support. | Direct service that supports food security includes activities that provide food/nutrition support, food production, community/school gardens, food recovery, food literacy, and coaching, education, and/or training in these areas. | Climate Action service opportunities are activities that counter the adverse human impact on climate change through education and civic engagement. This can include tree planting, fire and flood mitigation, debris removal, education/training in environmental stewardship and weatherization. |
