Quotes from UMN Graduate Full-time K-3 Member, MINNESOTA READING CORPS:
Educational Background: “I graduated in 2008 from the University of Minnesota-Twins Cities, where I majored in Art and minored in Sociology. I am currently applying to several graduate programs in the area for Special Education.”
Why I serve with MRC: “I decided to serve a year with MRC for several reasons. The most important reason is because I was interested in going to graduate school for Education, and I wanted the opportunity to have hands-on experience working with children on a daily basis in a school setting before making a final decision. Another reason I chose MRC specifically is because I had been a reading tutor in the St. Paul Public School District while in college, and I knew that there was a great need for children to receive extra help with their literacy skills.”

Project Legos is a non-profit with a mission to inspire, empower, and prepare youth and community to be change agents, social leaders, and volunteers.
Program facilitators are those that go out to various locations throughout the Twin Cities and conduct our youth programs with young people of all ages; all with the common goal of getting young people to realize their social leadership capacity and take responsibility for making the changes they want to see in our community. The amount of hours/week depends on the facilitator's availability and how it lines up with the programs on our calendar. Many programs happen during the after-school hours of 2-5, but there are several programs outside of those times as well.
For each program that a facilitator "signs on" for during the season, there is weekly time spent in the office preparing for each day of the program that can range from 1-2 hours and there is also time spent actually out at the programs with the young people ranging from 1-5 hours depending on the program set-up. Facilitators are only paid for the hours spent out conducting the program and not for the hours spent in the office.
This not a full-time position and is very much for someone who feels strongly about the mission and work we are doing and wants to be a part of creating positive change versus someone who is just looking for a paycheck.
The program:
The Federal Service Student Ambassadors program produces a corps of college students ready to actively promote public service following their completion of a federal internship in Washington, D.C.
Who is eligible?
Any student interning with a federal agency in Washington, D.C. this summer (2009) who will be returning to their campus for the 2009-2010 school year is eligible to apply.
Bonus for students:
This is a paid, year-long position, with a stipend of $2,200 and an added $300 stipend for expenses and materials.
Bonus for you:
If a student from your school is selected, we will train the student to do campus outreach promoting federal service. The student will be expected to work with their Career Services office to help with events, build federal agency relationships and generally coordinate cross-campus efforts to educate their fellow students about career options in government.
What we need from you:
Spread the word! We're currently recruiting our 2009 class of Ambassadors, and we need your help reaching out to students working as federal interns this summer. Please send out this announcement to your student, faculty, staff, and administrator contacts across all disciplines.
Students can apply for the Federal Service Student Ambassadors program at http://www.makingthedifference.org/ambassadors. For more information, please contact ambassadors@ourpublicservice.org.

A group interview for Project Legos is an experience in which applicants are simply participants in a 4-hour program experience much like those conducted with young people and communities around the Twin Cities through our programs. It is a very non-traditional approach to interviewing for the very reason that our programs take very non-traditional approaches to youth and community programming and require staff who's personalities align in key areas. So, they are worthwhile and inspiring experience for the applicants involved and something that many applicants enjoy versus the traditional interview approach.

Battle Creek Recreation Center has a need for a Geography club. Our neighboring elementary school is being very supportive of us starting one and are willing to help us promote it to our community and their students. We are looking for college students to volunteer hours to help us get this program started. The club will meet on Thursdays (tentative) for 8-10 weeks starting in January. The time that we are looking at is 3:45pm - 4:45pm. If the volunteer teachers think that it needs to be longer than an hour then we can go two. Each night they would focus on a specific country, its culture, climate, food, currency, etc. The first night focuses on just reading a map, etc.
If you are interested, please contact: Laura Winge, Child Care Program Coordinator,Battle Creek Recreation Center
