Requirements are: Bachelor’s Degree, preferably in areas of study related to Geographic Information Science (GIS), environmental conservation, engineering, landscape architecture, sciences or communications. There is also an age limit because this is considered a youth service corps. You must be 18-25 years old as of August 2016. There are some exceptions to it, but they need to speak with the program director. Here's the job announcement: https://cacamericorps.org/portfolio/knox-county-stormwater/ Here's the position description: https://cacamericorps.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/knox-county-americorps-service-description-1.pdf I was part of the 2003-2004 CAC AmeriCorps class and worked on the water quality team. I am happy to speak with any interested student about my experience, although there will be some differences between my experience and this position. But I highly recommend doing a position like this because you get some really valuable practical experience and learn how to work on a team and meet project deadlines. If they have specific questions about the program, they should contact the program director, Jason Scott at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or call (865) 546-3500 Please share with faculty, staff, and students who may be working with qualified individuals for this position. thanks, Angela Danovi _____________________________________________ Angela Danovi 479.295.7717 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>
