From ctnc.org/resilience-corps-nc-2024 ↗About this program
Resilience Corps NC [link https://ctnc.org/projects/service-programs/ctnc-americorps/] , CTNC's AmeriCorps program, has recently welcomed its latest cohort of service members who will be serving with organizations throughout North Carolina.
Members will focus on a variety of crucial areas including environmental education, land protection and stewardship, volunteerism, and climate and conservation outreach, all in the service of strengthening community resilience across the state. Their efforts will help boost the capabilities of each host site as they collaborate with local communities.
This year, Resilience Corps NC features 21 host sites and 24 members, including 6 members returning for a second year of service. The program has also grown to include 6 new host site organizations, broadening CTNC's network of conservation and community partners. Our members are stationed across the state, from the mountains of Sylva to the coast of Wilmington.
In addition to the satisfaction of knowing they are making a difference, members will receive educational benefits, professional development training, and networking opportunities throughout their term, equipping them for future careers in conservation and community leadership beyond their service term. These opportunities may include Environmental Education certification, attendance at conservation conferences, career development training, and more.
