Connections is an AmeriCorps placement program, which places its members in locations
such as schools, agencies, and organizations in order to to either:
- Provide prevention education (healthy alternatives to risky behaviors) to school-aged youth OR
- Help perform high-priority backlog projects for local, state, federal, non-profit and Native
agencies that result in improved public lands and facilities, and increased public safety.
Each sponsoring agency develops their own project and AmeriCorps Connections position description.
Sponsors provide the AmeriCorps members with supervision, mentoring, and support. SAGA provides stipends and other AmeriCorps benefits.
