Description
We are a multi-site AmeriCorps National Service National Direct program. Members are placed with non-profit agencies in their local community where they serve full time for eleven months in exchange for a small stipend plus money for college. Members receive leadership training and learn teamwork skills during their 1700 hours of service. Most of all, each member is involved in a community project designed especially for them.
