Beginning February 4, I will be embarking on a 10 month journey called AmeriCorps NCCC. During that time I will be engaged in service projects all over the United States. This is where I will record my adventures!

About Me
- Katy Baron
- I recently graduated from the College of Wooster in Ohio with a degree in Liberal Arts and a major in Sociology. I worked at a camp for four months in the little town known as Colebrook, CT, which hopefully gave me insight to what Americorps will be like. I am excited/nervous and am anticipating the adventures, experience, and people I am about to encounter with this new chapter in my life.
about americorps*nccc
AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) is a full-time, team-based residential program for men and women age 18–24. Members live on one of three campuses, located in Denver, Colorado; Sacramento, California; and Perry Point, Maryland.
The mission of AmeriCorps*NCCC is to strengthen communities and develop leaders through direct, team-based national and community service. In partnership with nonprofit organizations, state and local agencies, and faith-based and other community organizations, members complete service projects throughout the region they are assigned.
Drawn from the successful models of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s and the U.S. military, AmeriCorps*NCCC is built on the belief that civic responsibility is an inherent duty of all citizens and that national service programs work effectively with local communities to address pressing needs.
AmeriCorps*NCCC requires an intensive, 10-month commitment. Members serve in teams of ten to twelve and are assigned to projects throughout the region served by their campus. They are trained in CPR, first aid, public safety, and other skills before beginning their first service project.
AmeriCorps*NCCC members serve communities in every state, but live and train at three regional campuses. Sponsoring organizations request the assistance of AmeriCorps*NCCC teams by submitting a project application to the regional campus that covers that organization’s state. The campuses provide assistance in completing the application, developing a work plan, and preparing the project sponsor for the arrival of the AmeriCorps*NCCC team.
