Volunteer Maryland Managers -- Johns Hopkins Hospital's Office of Volunteers Services are looking for people to coordinate a volunteer program that will place high school students from the East Baltimore community in volunteer positions at the hospital. Members of Americorps, the national service program, the volunteers dedicate one year to full-time service.

The Volunteer Maryland Managers program will provide a four-week training program at the start of the service year, as well as nine additional training days during the year to support skill development. VMM's receive a living stipend of $10,500, a post-service educational benefit of $4,725, and health insurance if they are not already covered. They may also qualify for a child care allowance. The service year begins Aug. 30 and ends July 21, 2000. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications early.

Volunteer Maryland Managers must be at least 17 years of age and have a high diploma or GED. The program looks for applicants who are dedicated to service and motivated; have leadership potential and be comfortable as a manager; have good interpersonal and writing skills; and have a positive attitude and a spirit of adventure.
