AmeriCorps Host Site Supervisors

IDPH AmeriCorps Substance Abuse Prevention Program Member Information

Host Site Supervisors and member supervision are critical to the overall success of an AmeriCorps program. Supervision for each member could look differently depending on the needs for each member. Overall, supervision means to be available in the office where the member is serving, though some time each week should be dedicated to face to face time with the member. Supervision responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Developing performance plans for each member in cooperation with Program Directors.
Holding regularly scheduled check-ins with members to review their service
Providing feedback to the members regularly, not only on the things in the performance plan, but on other activities the member participates in
Conducting a written, formal evaluation process two times a year for half-time and fulltime members
Communicating regularly with the program director regarding member supervision
