Established in 1994, CAC AmeriCorps is a national service program that combines elements of traditional conservation practice with community action that informs our work and places it in the broader context of the region. CAC AmeriCorps members work to improve public lands, streams and greenways, educate the public, meet immediate human needs through disaster response and build volunteer capacity to enhance the ability of our partners to get things done.
Members will improve regional trails and waterways and over 1,000 acres of public lands, educate thousands of community members through a broad range of environmental education interventions as well as build the capacity of countless organizations through volunteer recruitment and management.
