Job description

With a history of limited and expensive Internet access and other scarce resources, the Town could not previously advance as a crucial resource during times of economic hardship or serial weather emergencies. Civic leadership, businesses, schools, churches, nonprofits, and volunteers work collaboratively to host festivals, improve public spaces, etc. Gassaway’s willingness to innovate, combined with its grassroots networks, makes it an ideal environment for capacity-building initiatives. By partnering with AmeriCorps, Gassaway seeks to improve its own outdated organizational capacity, develop crucial outreach to our residents and schools, and utilize what capability the Town currently possesses to provide information about resources for telehealth, services, skills training and on-line education to address unemployment, virtual employment opportunities, and volunteerism.
