My AmeriCorps - Home Page Peace Corps Fellows/AmeriCorps Program

We offer service & leadership opportunities for college students in rural communities. As part of their studies, our AmeriCorps members will build community capacity (e.g., human and social capital), and assist with the implementation of local development projects, such as: downtown revitalization, health education and outreach, leadership development, reduction of food insecurity, and environmentally sustainable projects. At the end of the first program year, the AmeriCorps members will be responsible for building the capacity of host sites by coordinating community-driven projects. In addition, the AmeriCorps members will leverage 250 volunteers who will be engaged in the implementation of local community projects. Half-time, (HT), Quarter Time (QT), and Minimum Time (MT) slots are available - on average, Members will serve between 10-20 hrs. per week for the duration of their assignments.
