Connection to purpose and goals of AmeriCorps program:

RIVA AmeriCorps seeks to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations which serve refugees and immigrants. Through

work readiness programs and capacity building projects, RIVA members provide culturally and linguistically appropriate

services which increase the economic self-sufficiency of refugee and immigrant communities while fostering integration,

and social cohesion. RIVA AmeriCorps may also work with emerging refugee- and immigrant-lead organizations to build

structures which will promote the sustainability of the organization.

The mission of the Iowa City Community School District is to ensure all students will become responsible, independent

learners capable of making informed decisions in a democratic society as well as in the dynamic global community; this is

accomplished by challenging each student with a rigorous and creative curriculum taught by a diverse, professional,

caring staff and enriched through the resources and the efforts of families and the entire community.

Description of anticipated service schedule:

This position requires serving an anticipated 40 hours per week over 48 weeks. Service hours will be served in-person Monday through

Friday between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm with occasional weekends and evenings required for special events. Remote service is not

permitted. It is encouraged to serve the hours indicated above to cover personal time off, such as vacation, illness, family
