Conservation Corps Minnesota & IowaMy Belated Birthday fundraiser - to celebrate my 28th help me raise $280 for Corpsmember assistance!

$280 goal
I began serving with Conservation Corps MN & IA in 2014 as an AmeriCorps member. Now SEVEN years later, I have the privilege to manage the program I started with and support new Corpsmembers. Serving my community through projects that invest in accessible parks and resilient ecosystems and seeing the confidence and comradery that crews develop over just the course of a summer has not ceased to amaze me. YET AmeriCorps service is challenging because you only receive a living stipend. As Conservation Corps considers how we can increase our commitment to equitable training opportunities, the financial challenge of our programs is one we wrestle with continually. I am SO excited that we are moving forward with this Member Assistance Fund - please donate to contribute so the AmeriCorps leaders I serve with can give back to the community without worrying about being able to meet their own needs!
