AmeriCorps*NCCC Program

AmeriCorps*NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) is a 10-month, full-time residential program for men and women between the ages of 18 and 24. AmeriCorps*NCCC combines the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service, including leadership and team-building. Priority is given to projects in disaster relief, public safety, and public health. -- All corps members and team leaders will live and work on one of four regional campuses—in Perry Point, Maryland; Charleston, South Carolina; Denver, Colorado; and Sacramento, California—for the duration of their training at the beginning of each Corps year, as well as for transition weeks between project rounds. -- 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.
