Appalachia SCP AmeriCorps - Child & Family Resilience Coord [United States]

 

SCP AmeriCorps encourages collaboration with community partners, organizations, and individuals to understand local rural communities' prevalent social, structural, and systemic issues. Direct service opportunities invite students and local and national civic-minded volunteers to actively engage in promoting social change through community-based initiatives in rural Appalachia. The South Cumberland Plateau AmeriCorps Project is a direct service initiative with some capacity-building opportunities that engage our community through increasing education, access, and knowledge concerning addressing social determinants of health. Service members receive a living stipend during their service and are eligible for the Segal Education Award at the end of their term.
