For example, an AmeriCorps volunteer may oversee a worksite for Habitat for Humanity or create an after-school program for The Boys and Girls Clubs of America . Another unique partnership with The American Red Cross has created the AmeriCorps National Rapid Response Corps in Los Angeles, Miami, and eight other cities. Volunteers provide emergency food, shelter and clothing to disaster victims and increase preparedness among children and youth in underserved areas. The program can accommodate volunteers with specific or broad interests. The AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps is a 10-month residential national service program for people who want a variety of responsibilities.
Members live and work out of one of five regional offices.
AmeriCorps members can also get involved in their own communities through the AmeriCorps State and National Direct program . Finally, the AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Program utilizes the talents of educated or experienced community leaders with a proven commitment to service.
