AmeriCorps Service Year Opportunity

My name is Darean Talmadge and I am reaching out to share the AmeriCorps service year opportunity with you, caring for infants and children up to age six who are at risk for abuse and neglect in Houston, TX. Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will serve these vulnerable children throughout a 12-month commitment, living in a private, gated community (at no cost) and receiving a living allowance.

Hands of Hope AmeriCorps Members will work collaboratively with other AmeriCorps Members in the home to ensure that children’s physical, emotional, and mental needs are met. While the commitment to our organization is only one year, the impact AmeriCorps Members have on the children in their care is lifelong. In turn, the children’s strength, resilience, and love will also make a lifelong impact on them. I've included snapshots and insights from some of our current AmeriCorps Members to provide first-hand perspectives on the program.

We are currently accepting applications for the September 2024-August 2025 service year. Thank you in advance for sharing this opportunity with your students. An informational flyer is attached, and our application can be found at:  https://www.casahope.org/hands-of-hope-application  

For more information, please contact Darean Talmadge 713-529-0639 dtalmadge@casahope.org 

We are so grateful for your partnership.
