members per room while rooms in the other building house 10-28 members per room. All roommates in both

buildings are of the same gender, and will be assigned upon arrival. Bathrooms are communal, gym-style

facilities with stalled toilets and showers. Team Leaders live in a different part of campus than Corps Members

and share a room with one other person. The campus has free laundry facilities (just bring your own detergent),

kitchens where they’ll prepare and eat meals, outdoor courtyards with picnic tables, lounges where members

can watch movies or play games, and indoor and outdoor basketball courts, in addition to the nature trail.

Corps Members live in dorm rooms while on campus for training and transition weeks. The layout

and amenities of each dorm room differs, but members can expect to have one XL twin mattress,

likely as part of a bunk bed, and a storage locker. The rooms in one residential building house 2-4

AmeriCorps NCCC Southwest Region Campus

The Southwest Region supports service projects in 9 states: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri,

New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming.

15001 E. Oxford Ave., Suite B, Aurora, CO 80014

Aurora, just east of Denver proper but part of

the Denver Metro Area, is on its own

Colorado's third-largest city and the 52nd most

populous city in the United States. Mostly

suburban in character, Aurora is nestled

between Denver’s skyscrapers and city lights

and the expansive grasslands of eastern

Colorado. With 300 days of sunshine in a year

and an official elevation of 5,471 feet – more

than Denver’s famous “Mile High” status –

bring your sunscreen and water bottle, and get

ready to enjoy some time outside.

The Southwest Region campus is surrounded by

activities and adventures for members during their

free time while on campus. There is a nature trail

around the campus itself, which offers a

view of the mountains. Cherry Creek

State Park and reservoir is just about a

mile west of campus, which has trails and a swim

beach. Members often take the light rail electric train

into downtown Denver to grab a bite to eat or check

out a museum or sporting event. They may drive over

to the famous Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison for

a show, or go walk around in Boulder, home to the

University of Colorado. And of course, the front range

of the Rocky Mountains is less than 30 miles to the

west, so members may head for the hills for a hike, to

see snow for the first time, or just to appreciate the

natural beauty. Though members assigned to the

Southwest Region will travel to projects throughout the

nine-state region, likely only spending about 10-40% of

their time in Colorado, they certainly never mind

“coming home” to Aurora.
