INQUIRY: Do you or someone you know have housing opportunities for AmeriCorps members serving in Lynn? SCI Lynn has recruited another group of 4 incredible AmeriCorps members that will serve the City of Lynn from September 2009 to June 2010. These members will coordinate civic engagement initiatives in the areas of Engaging Youth, Building Bridges, Connecting Citizens, and Developing Leaders.

Majority of our members are recent college graduates traveling from various cities across the nation to serve. Each of them share a common enthusiasm for public service and academic excellence. It would be a particularly rewarding experience for members to connect with residents of Lynn who could steer them in the right direction to find housing opportunities at a modest rate in the community they serve.

We hope to enlist your support and participation in helping our 2009-2010 SCI Lynn AmeriCorps members find housing and become acclimated to the neighborhood. To connect with the members and learn more about how you can support their transition to Lynn please contact Amanda Richardson at 781-599-1269 or via email at arichardson@socialcapitalinc.org.
