Human Needs Project Models
Case Management
Working in conjunction with college programs, many local students are required to complete practicums or internships. These appropriately skilled and educated members can help to increase the quality of care you provide your clients. In turn, they receive a scholarship to help pay for their schooling - that's win-win!
Increasing Diversity
In today's diverse environment many organizations are reaching out in effort to provide increased programming to non-English speakers and persons with disabilities. Get help reaching your diversity inclusion goals with the assistance of a Links member.
Senior Services
Stretch your program dollars by enlisting the help of Links members to provide services to seniors. Links members can provide in-home visits, organize transportation, or develop and lead activities in an effort to help increase quality of life.
Youth Development
Need help providing important life skills to at-risk or adjudicated youth? Links members can play a role! Set them loose creating and/or coordinating programs in job training, health, nutrition, service learning program, or peer-to-peer mentoring.
Adult Education
Links members can assist your program in providing training and resources in numerous subject areas. Members can develop and implement classes in literacy, job training, home ownership, parenting skills, and much, much more.
Hunger/Nutrition Programming
From assisting in food collection and distribution, to food safety training and health and nutrition program development, a Links member can help your organization solve one of our region's most pressing issues.
Summer Programs/ Projects
Many organizations have special programs that operate just during the summer months. Links AmeriCorps positions make a great compliment to most summer programs since these terms can be 300- 450 hours in length. Perfect for college students looking for a way to earn $ during their time off while getting experience in a field that interests them.

Homelessness Programming/Services
Enlisting the help of one or more Links members can enhance your program's ability to serve the needs of the homeless population. Links members can provide programming for children in shelters, assist in street outreach, or develop a job training program.

Credit-based Service, Internships & Practicums
High school and college students may be able to earn $1000+ scholarships for their service through AmeriCorps. In order to count, the project must address a community need and place the member in direct service. Contact us to see if your internship qualifies or for help designing one that does.
