Road Trippin'

For the past couple days we have been driving from Denver, through Texas to Ocean's Springs, MS; where we will be staying (just about 20 min. from Pascagoula). A lot of us were sad to say goodbye, but hopefully we will be able to transition together in two months. We meet our sponsor today and start work tomorrow. The fire teams and the alternate fire team are staying in CO for the next month to train and work in Boulder.

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.
