Conservation Corps Emergency Fund

I am a member of the Board of the Conservation Corps.  I joined because I am passionate about its mission: To Engage youth and young adults in meaningful service, leadership development and environmental stewardship.

But AmeriCorps service can be financially challenging, and that the opportunity to serve is not available equally to everyone. 

To support Conservation Corps members in their service and attract a diverse group of members who might not be able to serve otherwise, the Corps is establishing a Member Assistance Fund. The Assistance Fund will provide one-time financial assistance to AmeriCorps members who are facing a financial hardship during their service term. 

The Member Assistance Fund will help the Corps attract and retain diverse and unrepresented communities, advancing the Corps’ Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion goals. With your help we can help ensure that members are able to successfully complete their service experience and develop the skills they need to join the natural resource field or succeed in the career of their choice. 

 Will you help me support the find?
