Starting this spring TechMission Corps' AmeriCorps program is offering one-year full-time paid internships serving in urban ministries in Boston, New York, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles.
TechMission interns help urban ministry organizations use technology to help address injustice and develop at-risk communities. The following positions are available:
Our TechMission Corps program in Boston provides 20 full-time equivalent (FTE) AmeriCorps Members (called TechMission Corps Members) to program sites. In addition, we provide 3 VISTA Members who serve in TechMission’s headquarters to build the capacity of our TechMission Corps program and partners. TechMission Corps Members in Boston will assist with recruiting and/or coordinating more than 675 volunteers and/or work study students to serve at these sites and other faith- and community-based organizations.
Our TechMission Corps program in Denver provides five full-time equivalent (FTE) AmeriCorps Members (called TechMission Corps Members) to support academic enrichment, technology and volunteer recruitment activities in after school and teen programs in Denver. We have partnered with Here’s Life Inner City in Denver to provide support and services to participants in three of their after school program sites.

-Cross Roads of the Rockies -Open Door Ministries -Sun Valley Youth Center -The Crossing - Denver Rescue Mission
The US Dept of Justice (DoJ) reports that the juvenile crime rate triples during afterschool hours (1999). Quality afterschool programs offer children a safe environment where they can participate in active hands-on learning activities that are not always available during the school day. Parents have identified high quality afterschool options as a pressing need, but program offerings are limited and quality is inconsistent, especially for middle school students. The National Institute on Out of School Time reports that 80 to 85 percent of afterschool participants showed increased performance in school as a result of these programs, but only 13 percent of students participate in a program for three days or more per week.
In this project, Alphonso Westley describes the way in which he formalized many of the procedures already in place at the Boston HERC so that there would be less confusion when staff transition occurs. He lists the documents which a good policy manual should occur, and also stresses that it is important to write a formal mission statement to define your organizational vision.
In this project, Alphonso Westley describes how he developed and added a peer mentoring component the Boston HERC Mentor Program. This program will work in conjunction with the Passport Program, in that the junior and senior high school students will serve as mentors for middle school students. The program is intended to help participants improve academically and become more connected to school.
In this presentation, Denise Cromwell describes the principles which guided her as she started a mentoring ministry to troubled children at her service site.
In this document, Robert Badgett outlines the curriculum which he used in mentoring teens at the Brockton HERC. He demonstrates ways in which Biblical principles can applied to teaching youth about their identity, their values, and their goals.

In order to reach our goal of helping over 1,250 at-risk youth build a solid foundation for succeeding in school and in life, TechMission provides 30 AmeriCorps Members (TechMission Corps Members) to 20 pre-existing K-8 and teen afterschool programs in five major cities (Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago and Denver).
