If you have not heard of AmeriCorps, many people refer to it as the domestic version of Peace Corps. AmeriCorps seeks to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. 

We offer opportunities with different time commitments and requirements, so that individuals can serve in whatever capacity works for their goals and lifestyle. AmeriCorps operates within six key areas: Education, disaster response, economic opportunity, veterans and military families, environmental stewardship, and healthy futures. Individuals who serve with AmeriCorps build new skillsets that they can take with them wherever they go, while older Americans can apply their hard-earned knowledge to make an impact in a new environment. AmeriCorps provides several benefits for its volunteers and members such as education awards, supplemental health insurance, loan deferment, and childcare. Benefits vary by program.

Your institution can be a conduit to these opportunities, is able to host members to serve a need at your college, or your institution can start its own program.

The second is through our Holiday Dinners. At our Holiday meals, we serve over 100 in our community. Some of them attend and some of them have their meals delivered to them. The importance of these meals is to not only provide them with food but with fellowship on a holiday. To carry out these meals we rely on volunteers. Last year we were lucky enough to have a hall volunteer and couple of other Northern students for our Easter meal. Our guests absolutely loved having them there.  he connection with the youth of our community is so vital to them. Many of them attended Northern or had children or family that attended or worked at Northern. They love to see NMU students, because you are just starting to live your dreams, that alone is such an exciting memory and thought to them.

To be able to serve this meal to our community it requires that we have the service of 72 volunteers. I would love for half of those volunteers to come from Northern. It would make for a great story along with help promote and recognize Northern students and everything you give to our community. I will also have letters of service which I will be more than happy to sign for all volunteers to help them towards earning scholarships, recognition, or help along the job hunt. I will also be more than happy to write a personal letter of service/reference to any volunteers who help serve.  

So, if you or anyone in your hall is available, please join us for our Holiday Meal. Whether it is a group or individually, you will be greatly appreciated.  If you would like to volunteer, contact Leslie at lesliebek@littlebrothers.org.
