Community Based Organizations  

CBO Brochure

A partnership with JMGF means implementing an innovative volunteer incentive. A representative from the interested Community Based Organization (CBO) should contact the JMGF office in Helena. An organization can download and submit the Memorandum of Understanding, the Education Award request form, along with a completed Position Description. The submitted requests undergo a staff review process to ensure that projects include direct community service that meets one or more defined community needs.

If your organization already hosts student volunteers who may be eligible for JMGF AmeriCorps, make sure the number of Education Award positions reflects the actual number of positions that you anticipate will complete the full 300 hour term of service.

• If you would like to increase your ability to deliver services by hosting a JMGF AmeriCorps Member, estimate the number of positions and clearly describe the community need, service activity and we will work to recruit volunteers for you!

Working with JMGF AmeriCorps Program staff, the CBO partner works to enroll eligible volunteers or recruit volunteers to work on a defined service project(s).  Local partner staff provides a program orientation for new volunteers, while the JMGF AmeriCorps office enrolls members and records their hours. The JMGF AmeriCorps Program Director is available to train partner staff, recruit students and to offer support for both start up orientation and end of service volunteer recognition events.

Each JMGF AmeriCorps Member commits to a 300-hour term of service and upon successful completion of their term is awarded a $1,000 Education Award.
If you are interested in hosting a JMGF AmeriCorps position, or if you are a student and would like a Member Application, please familiarize yourself with this web page and don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
