成员
What are the minimum qualifications to be in the 斯达 program?
• You must be at least 18 years old to be in the 斯达 program
Do all 美国志愿队 positions in 斯达 receive a living stipend?
• No, only the full-time and half-time positions have a living stipend attached to the position.
• The minimum time are education award only positions
How does the living stipend get dispersed and how often?
• The living stipend is equally divided between the pay periods and the contract year and is paid every two weeks. Those who start at the beginning of the program year (around August 14-20) will receive a full living allowance during their term of service. If you start later in the program year your living stipend is prorated based on the number of pay periods left in the program year.
Can I count my lunchtime as part of my 美国志愿队 service hours?
• No, in most cases you cannot count your lunch or other breaks as 美国志愿队 time.
Do I have to serve the entire contract period?
• As a full or half-time 美国志愿队 member you are signing on to a contract period that begins on your assigned ‘start date’ and must be finished by August 14th of the following year. 例如, the program starts August 15, 2023, 8月14日结束, 2024, those enrolled as of 8/15/23 are expected to serve until 8/14/24. If you complete your hours early you are still expected to serve at your site until the end of your contract. If you choose to leave early your living stipend will be stopped at the time of your departure.
Can my education award be used by someone else in my family?
• The education award can be used or given to an immediate family member IF the 美国志愿队 member earning the award is over 55 years of age at the time of enrolling in the program. If not, the answer is NO.
• The education award can be held in the My 美国志愿队 portal for up to 7 years.
