INDIANA RAP CORPS NOW RECRUITING FOR AMERICORPS 2010-2011
The Indiana RAP Corps, an AmeriCorps program funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service, is now recruiting for the 2010-2011 program year. This program, operating out of the American Red Cross, St. Joseph County Chapter, currently has members at 7 sites at Red Cross Chapters throughout North and Central Indiana and will expand to Bloomington in September.
Members of the Indiana RAP Corps work to increase community disaster preparedness and response by being trained as disaster responders and as educators so that they can help the community better plan for disasters likely in Indiana such as floods and tornadoes. In addition members of the Indiana RAP Corps assist with teaching life saving skills such as CPR and First Aid, and provide service to military families. As part of this program members receive a modest living allowance, and an education award that can be used for current or future education. Fulltime members are eligible for health insurance and child care. The position available in Bloomington is fulltime.
Persons interested in receiving an application should contact Sue Gulley, Executive Director for the Monroe County Red Cross Chapter serving Monroe and Owen Counties at (812) 332-7292 or by e-mail at suegulley@monroe-redcross.org.
