Hidden Fields


TNOYS' AmeriCorps Program is a paid opportunity that is open to those who have lived experience in systems. AmeriCorps members provide support at youth-serving organizations (host sites) across Texas, and learn skills to make a difference in the lives of youth and young adults with lived experience.

AmeriCorps Program Requirements

Applicants must meet all of the following criteria in order to be eligible to apply.
  • At least 18, or 21+ for some host sites
  • Have lived experience in youth-serving systems. Lived experience is defined as someone who has faced homelessness, foster care, juvenile justice, or involvement in other social service systems such as mental health supports. 
  • Is a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (If selected, you will be required to complete INS Form I-9).

If you are interested in this opportunity, please complete the preliminary application below. We will follow up with next steps in the application process. Please reach out to TNOYS Director of Partnerships, Tiona Moore at tmoore@tnoys.org if you have questions.

TNOYS Lived Experience Index
This section is to gauge which systems you have involvement in and are willing to discuss in our Youth Voices activities. If you do not feel comfortable sharing about an experience, do not feel obligated to share. If you decide later on that you would like to share about this experience, please let a TNOYS staff member know at the listening session. You will never be forced to share something against your will and you can always say no to an opportunity or change your mind.
