WASHINGTON, D.C. — AmeriCorps, the federal agency for national service and volunteerism, has announced two short-term, summer service opportunities with AmeriCorps NCCC and AmeriCorps VISTA programs. While traditional AmeriCorps programs are approximately one year in length, these summer opportunities connect adults 18 and older with six-week service opportunities to build skills, grow their resumes and address the nation’s most pressing needs.

AmeriCorps NCCC is a full-time, team-based residential service program that allows young adults to make a positive impact in communities across the country while gaining valuable leadership skills. While the traditional program is 10 months, Summer of Service is a three-month program open to young adults between the ages of 18 to 26 to travel and serve together.

Members join hands-on, full-time projects for six weeks to support the environment and affordable housing, among other focus areas.

AmeriCorps NCCC and AmeriCorps VISTA projects are currently accepting applications for the summer. AmeriCorps NCCC Summer of Service application deadline for team leaders is Feb. 28, and for members, the deadline is March 31.

AmeriCorps VISTA Summer Associate 2023 position opportunities may vary in length depending on the current projects. Projects currently accepting applications are available on MyAmeriCorps portal sy bit.ly/3XkkXq9.
