I received this notice from Ursula Hill, whose job is to place AmeriCorps members at organizations working with people in prison and their families. She is looking for:

AmeriCorps Members to begin in September as:
-Program Assistant at Friends Outside in Watsonville and Santa Cruz, CA
-Mentoring Outreach Program Coordinator at Covenant to Care in Hartford, CT
-Mentoring Coordinator at St. Katherine's of Siena in Baltimore, MD
-Boys Hope Girls Hope and Family and Friends of Louisiana's Incarcerated Children (FFLIC) in New Orleans

These are full-time AmeriCorps positions, September 2008 to July 2009.

Each program is different, but all involve coordinating mentoring for children whose parents are, or have been, incarcerated. There are also two placements directly in jails: one in Redwood City, CA (near San Francisco) and one in Boston working with adult literacy. Here's more information and contact numbers if you want to apply.
