DETAILS OF THE JOB

2021 Summer Staff Schedule

If hired, all summer staff will be required to be at Staff Training. Dates for training are June 1 – 12, 2021. Required times may vary depending on job position and program. All Home Repair and Urban Ministry applicants should be available to work anytime from June 12 – August 2. Breaks will be scheduled for you. All Overseas applicants should understand they will be in Honduras all summer long, not returning to the States until August 4.

 

An end-of-summer gathering is mandatory for all summer staff people on August 1. Your last official day of employment will be Monday, August 2.

 

If there are scheduling conflicts (e.g. family reunions, graduations, etc.), please make us aware of those in your application and interview. We may be able to work with these conflicts if we know in advance. All current high school seniors MUST fill out a High School Senior Form.

Compensation

Salaries will be paid via direct deposit. If all partnerships have been raised, half of your salary will be deposited at the end of June, the other at the end of July. Mileage reimbursement checks will be written at the end of the summer.

Parnterships

Staff persons are required to raise one-half of their salary, plus a portion of their living expenses, through Partnerships. More information about the Partnership plan will be sent to those who are offered positions. The thought of raising so much money in partnerships can be a intimidating, but please don’t let this keep you from applying. It is much easier than it may sound, and we are here to help you along the way. We have found it is not uncommon for staff persons to raise more than needed in partnerships.

If hired, those using personal vehicles for CCC-related travel will be reimbursed at the rate of $0.16 per mile, up to 5,000 miles. Those unable to provide their own transportation may be able to use one of CCC’s vehicles.
