Partnerships

We couldn’t do what we do without the help of our partners

Check out the AmeriCorps service placement sites where our members are making real-world, on-the-ground differences in their communities. The map also shows our collaborative partners, who assist AAI in providing high quality programs to the youth of rural southern Colorado.

Are You interested in partnering with AAI?

AAI is continually looking for ways to support youth-serving organizations in our region. We have created capacity positions through our AmeriCorps program that organizations would independently manage but that we could leverage AC dollars to support. 

AAI provides administrative and funding support for not-for-profit organizations to hire full or part-time AmeriCorps members. Organizations pay a $17,000 partnering fee and AAI matches that with $16,000 of funding that goes directly into the AmeriCorps positions.

There is also additional flexibility with these positions, for example, full-time positions can be paid up to $36,000, so if you were interested in paying a full-time position more than the $23,500, we could increase the partnering fee and still leverage funds to where it would cost you less than a hourly or salaried full-time position.
