If you or someone you know is looking for an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our students, FabNewport and the Newport Check and Connect AmeriCorps program is looking for mentors to work with the youth in our three Newport Public Schools. Mentors will earn a bi-weekly stipend that has no impact on subsidized rent, SNAP, or any of the other Rhode Island benefits programs. Members will also earn 6,000 dollars in an education award at the end of their service. Potential members must be 18 or older and able to pass both state and federal background checks. Potential members must have a high school diploma or equivalency. Spanish speaking/bilingual is a plus but not a requirement. Retirees, moms, dads, college students, differently abled folks all encouraged to apply. This is an equal opportunity position! Email me at ellen@fabnewport.org
