Member Duties

The AmeriCorps Mental Health Lead serves as a vital bridge between Y.O.U.’s clinical expertise and its daily afterschool enrichment. This role is designed for a Bachelor’s-level professional seeking to gain high-level experience in social work, community mental health, and program administration.
