AmeriCorps NCCC is a federal national service program which strengthens communities and develops leaders through team-based service. AmeriCorps NCCC teams typically consist of approximately 8-12 young adults aged 18-26, including a team leader. Members join from all over the country and generally range from high school to college graduates in terms of education/experience. Teams typically serve full time in a community for 6-8 weeks although shorter timeframes are possible. There is no charge for labor and NCCC provides teams their own transportation, however we request partners provide a place to sleep and shower along with assistance with food or kitchen facilities to cook on. Partners also provide project supplies and materials, technical support and direction, and a schedule of work.
Please feel free to share this with others who may be interested. Do you know of young adults who want to gain experience, address community needs, travel, and earn money for school? Find more about serving in AmeriCorps NCCC and other AmeriCorps programs here: https://www.americorps.gov/serve.
