Journey Fellow Seeking Full Time Employment
I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Health Science, concentrating on Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in psychology from Indiana University Bloomington. I have had internships both at Big Brothers Big Sisters and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, and would ideally love to find a career in an organization that provides similar positive outlets and programs for children of all ages. 
Please view and share my attached resume.

Boys and Girls Clubs of Indianapolis AmeriCorps Positions
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Indianapolis is looking to fill two full-time AmeriCorps positions. Our Graduation Counselors implement college- and career-readiness programs for junior high and high school students from Indianapolis urban areas. Our Education Directors oversee various educational enrichment programs for elementary-aged youth spanning from homework help, healthy eating, and building character and citizenship. For both positions, experience in counseling and/or advising students on barriers to success will be considered a plus. The positions are full time, 36-40 hours per week, and require evenings and some weekends, as well as some travel. 

Please submit resumes to Chris Wake at rjames@bgcindy.org.
