AmeriCorps NCCC

Are you interested in traveling the country and earning money for school while helping communities in need? If so, AmeriCorps NCCC may be for you.

AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) is a residential national service program for men and women between the ages of 18 and 24. For 10 months, members serve on teams to meet urgent community needs in disaster relief, the environment, education, public safety and unmet human needs. Teams work on projects throughout the country with non-profit programs, state and local agencies, and other community and faith-based groups.

Members are stationed at one of four campuses, located in Denver, CO, Sacramento, CA, Baltimore, MD, Vinton, IA and Vicksburg, MS. During the 10 month term of service they will complete a variety of 6 to 8-week- long projects throughout a multi-state region.

AmeriCorps NCCC members are provided with housing, food, health benefits, transportation to projects and qualified student loan forbearance. They earn a modest living stipend of about $200 every two weeks, before taxes. Upon successful completion of the program, they also earn a $5,775 education award that can be applied to future schooling or to pay off existing student loans.
