From an idea to a service role

Six steps to host.

Start with a community need. RRCC will help you turn it into a service role.

  1. 01

    Check your eligibility

    Nonprofits, public agencies, school districts, tribes and faith-based organizations may apply.

  2. 02

    Identify a community need

    Decide what a member could help your organization build or expand, and what outcomes you could track.

  3. 03

    Plan your hosting budget

    The Quarter Time placement fee is the same for every host site. Budget for supervision, workspace, equipment and other costs your site may need to cover.

  4. 04

    Meet with RRCC

    Book a short meeting with our outreach team to talk through your idea. RRCC will then ask for a Letter of Intent and invite you to complete the host-site application.

  5. 05

    Work through RRCC review

    RRCC reviews your application and proposed member role. Be ready to answer questions and make any requested changes.

  6. 06

    Recruit, select and onboard

    After approval, work with RRCC to recruit and select a member. Complete onboarding before service begins.

A little more about hosting

Good questions.
Clear next steps.

Explore the details that matter to your organization.

Ask RRCC a question
What can a Quarter Time member help with?

A focused role may support community outreach, volunteer engagement, program capacity or lasting resources for the people you serve. Start with your community's needs; RRCC will review and confirm the service role.

What does our organization provide?

A meaningful role, daily supervision, workspace, equipment and required support. Host sites also help recruit, review time records, complete evaluations and report outcomes. The placement fee is not an all-inclusive hosting cost.

Nonprofits, public agencies, schools, tribal organizations and faith-based organizations may apply. Host-site approval and member placement depend on program requirements.

When do we send a Letter of Intent?

After your meeting, RRCC will ask for a short Letter of Intent. Have your organization and contact details ready. The form asks for a brief uploaded letter describing your organization and how an AmeriCorps member could support its work.

Ready now? Send your Letter of Intent. Already submitted an LOI or started applying? Continue that process and ask RRCC about Quarter Time. Avoid a duplicate LOI.

What schedule and benefits apply?

RRCC confirms the application timetable, service dates and each role's schedule. Member benefits include a modest living allowance and professional development. Eligible members may qualify for federal student loan forbearance. RRCC confirms benefits and eligibility for each term. See member information.
