Members are matched with one of SHINE’s community partner sites throughout Philadelphia. Immigrants and refugees are from Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America. AmeriCorps members serve 9-10 hours per week and attend monthly trainings from October-June. Members receive a $1,500 stipend and a $1,132 end of term education award. Those who are bilingual, bi cultural, or health experience or workings towards a career in health are in high demand.
