<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">I’m writing to ask you to share the attached information about the Ohio History Service Corps with anyone you may know (such as upcoming and recent graduates) who might be interested in the opportunity to
serve for a year in a history/museum/archives-related AmeriCorps program. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none">The Ohio History Service Corps is an AmeriCorps program whose members provide capacity-building services to local history organizations (including archives!). Serving with the Ohio History Service Corps
can be a chance to grow as a public historian by putting into practice the skills learned at college or in graduate school. It’s also a great introduction to the local history community in Ohio and an excellent way to create a network for future opportunities.
Members receive a living stipend and are eligible for an education award equal to the amount of the Pell grant to cover future tuition or to pay off qualified student loans.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ligatures:none"><br>
We have 10 member slots around the state; there’s more detail about service locations and everything else, including application links, on our site,
