AmeriCorp Members are hired through AmeriCorp, not Fairview Independent Schools. You may apply on the district website or email a resume to Stacy.McCarty@fairview.kyschools.us.
What do the members do?
They tutor students in grades 3-5 math for 80% of the school day.
They teach all fourth-grade classes the Too Good for Drugs, ten-lesson curriculum.
They sponsor or co-sponsor the school’s UNITE Club.
They attend monthly UNITE coalition meetings to learn about additional opportunities your school may qualify for, such as funding for special programs (archery team, etc.).
This year, the member benefits are:
A living stipend will be paid every two weeks.
An education award is also included
Childcare, Housing, and SNAP benefits- if they meet the household income guidelines.
Health insurance (for the member only).
If they have a student loan, they may pause their loan payments, and no interest will accrue while serving as an AmeriCorps member.
The living stipend is taxed but not considered employment; therefore, it will not count as income when applying for benefits such as SNAP, Housing assistance, or the Childcare Benefit.
