ACCESS Staff to Train 61 AmeriCorps Members

61 new and returning members will come to Dearborn for four days of service specific training. Members from around the country will be in Dearborn from January 18-21. The goal of the member orientation is to build a national sense of identity and common mission among the ARC members and to provide tools they need to serve their communities.

One of the highlights of this year’s orientation will be the swearing-in ceremony held at the Arab American National Museum on Saturday, January 19th. The orientation will also cover volunteer recruitment, ARC and AmeriCorps policies and procedures, and conclude with a service project on the Martin Luther King Day of Service. In partnership with City Year, ACCESS will participate in a local service project to celebrate Dr. King’s life and teachings through volunteer service.
