LISC Detroit invites our partners to submit an application to host a LISC AmeriCorps member for the 2023-2024 cohort which begins on February 1, 2024.
LISC Detroit will provide the following positions for capacity building support for nonprofits in Detroit's neighborhoods:
- 8 full-time 1,7000-hour AmeriCorps positions

- 3 quarter-time 450-hour AmeriCorps positions

The LISC AmeriCorps program seeks to provide our local, community-based partners the opportunity to implement projects which they could not otherwise. LISC AmeriCorps is one tool that helps our non-profit partners catalyze opportunity in the areas of affordable housing, education, financial counseling, health, public safety, youth development, and building community leadership. As a partner, you will provide critical support in acting as career coaches and mentors to the individuals selected to be members. Our hope is that through these relationships and direct service members will gain valuable skills as they enter into a career in the community development field.
LISC Detroit is highly interested in supporting organizations that will utilize AmeriCorps members in initiatives that support our Equitable Impact Investment Fund. In the selection of our host/ partner sites, preference will be given to organizations whose members will focus on:
- Community Assessment
- Community Engagement Volunteers
- Employment Skills Training
- Financial Counseling
- Housing Counseling
- Housing Physical Development
- Job Placement or Job Referral
