Literacy NJ AmeriCorps
Literacy NJ AmeriCorps members help adults gain the literacy and digital skills they need to reach their goals at home, at work, and in the community.
Service Opportunities
AmeriCorps members play a crucial role in our literacy programs. AmeriCorps members receive a stipend to serve between 10-20 hours a week and provide essential support to our adult literacy programs. As an AmeriCorps member, you will help us expand our capacity to serve adult literacy students in NJ.
AmeriCorps members serve at local Literacy NJ and affiliate programs across the state, and come together regularly for training and professional development. Members receive a living allowance, an education award, training, and ongoing support.
