OneOC, in partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service, is proud to offer AmeriCorps fellowships.

As a OneOC AmeriCorps member, you will have the opportunity to build the volunteer infrastructure of Orange County’s most prominent nonprofit- Girl Scouts of Orange County.

For people entering the workforce, AmeriCorps programs provide members with valuable work skills, leadership development and a pathway to future opportunities.

Volunteer Infrastructure Project (VIP) Fellows are AmeriCorps members who build and strengthen sustainable volunteer programs in existing service organizations. VIP Fellows leave a legacy in the communities they serve by building lasting systems of volunteer engagement and management. Each VIP Fellow dedicates their service to a single Partner Site, working “behind the scenes” of service to enable volunteers to take part in meaningful service positions that meet community needs. VIP Fellows are a part of a statewide network of 120 Fellows, and are placed in small teams of 5 or more in their community who meet regularly for collaboration and training.
