  Overview of Volunteer Programs  

The Minnesota Economic Opportunity Corps is a partnership of ServeMinnesota and non-profit agencies coming together for a common purpose – to use the power of national service to assist Minnesotans with economic barriers to become more self-sufficient. These organizations will be hosting full-time and part-time AmeriCorps members beginning in September 2011. The AmeriCorps members will be trained and serve in collaboration with the staff of these organizations at their site locations in the Twin Cities and selected cities in greater Minnesota.

AmeriCorps Minnesota Economic Opportunity Corps 

Minnesota Economic Opportunity Corps members serve one year making a difference in the lives of individuals with multiple barriers to employment and economic self-sufficiency.

Members at CommonBond will focus on increasing the employability of residents living in CommonBond’s family housing communities in St. Paul, Minneapolis and surrounding suburbs by:

  • Improving resident job readiness through skill development (computer training, ESL classes, GED completion) resume preparation and career planning.
  • Assisting residents in seeking employment by supporting their job search and application process, preparing them for job interviews, and coordinating transportation to job interviews.
  • Connecting residents with community resources and public benefits related to childcare, housing, transportation, and health.
  • Researching prospective employers and identifying the potential for matching jobs with residents.

Employment Services Coaches help residents to increase their employability, find gainful employment, and ultimately strengthen their financial stability. Coaches will work with residents one-on-one and in group settings. All positions are based in safe, quality affordable housing communities.

  • Valuable training 
  • Approximately $480 every two weeks
