Americorps' Public Allies Program Advances Leadership at Gateway

On Monday, Nov. 10th at 10:30 am Gateway will host a speaker from Public Allies, a 10-month Americorps program that advances new leadership to strengthen communities, non-profits and civic participation. For ten months, Allies serve their community by being placed in full-time paid apprenticeships in a local non-profit organization. Allies work in direct service to their communities in areas such as youth development, public health and safety and the environment. Seniors who would be interested in this type of work starting next September, should plan to attend this presentation. Students who are chosen for the Public Allies program will receive on-going support and training and are eligible for benefits as well. For more information on this great post-high school opportunity, please sign up in the Guidance office or see Mrs. Weiss in the Community Service Center, room 234 to receive a pass to attend the presentation.
