                    Understanding the Options

AmeriCorps NCCC now offers four unique paths to service: Traditional Corps, FEMA Corps, Forest Corps, and Summer of Service. Each service path includes a Corps Member position (for 18-26* year-olds) and a Team Leader position (for individuals 18 and up who possess leadership experience).

**Traditional Corps** teams partner with local and national organizations to complete hands-on projects in a designated region of the country.
	**FEMA Corps** teams serve nationally under FEMA direction to complete administrative projects related to disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery.
	**Forest Corps** teams perform direct, hands-on service in the areas of wildfire risk mitigation, reforestation, environmental conservation, and resource management, while serving alongside the United States Forest Service.
	**Summer of Service**is a simplified version of NCCC’s other programs, on a shortened timeframe. Summer of Service participants will pursue the same NCCC mission of “strengthening communities and developing leaders through service.”Find out more

*The CARES Act, passed by Congress in response to the Coronavirus pandemic, increased the upper age limit for participation as an AmeriCorps NCCC Corps Member to 26 years old. Under the CARES Act, Section 3514(d), the upper age limit for AmeriCorps NCCC members is 26.  AmeriCorps NCCC applies the upper age limit at the time a member arrives on campus and is activated as a member. That means individuals must be on campus and activated as members for at least one day before turning 27. The 26-year upper age limit will remain in effect until further notice.
