The West Virginia University Hancock County Extension needs mentors for the Energy Express summer reading program.
AmeriCorps Mentors are full-time college students or college-bound students who make learning fun for small groups of school-age children by creating a safe, enriching environment focused on reading, writing, art and drama.
In addition to the learning activities, mentors eat nutritious, family-style meals with children, make family visits and complete a community service project.
In return for their 300 hours of service over the summer, AmeriCorps mentors receive a $1,850 summer living allowance and a $1,175 Segal AmeriCorps Education Award valid for up to seven years to pay for college tuition or loans.
Mentors must be at least 18 year old before June 9. Those interested should contact the Hancock County Extension office for more information at (304) 564-3805.
