AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) strengthens communities and develops leaders through direct, team-based national and community service.
FEMA Corps is an NCCC track for young adults who want to gain professional skills in emergency management while serving with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) staff on disaster response and recovery efforts. It is a 10-month, full-time, team-based residential service program that was developed in partnership with FEMA and the Corporation for National and Community Service, the agency that oversees AmeriCorps NCCC. As a member, you’ll be assigned to one of five NCCC campuses. Your focus will solely be on emergency management and long-term recovery and preparedness activities within FEMA. When disasters strike, FEMA Corps teams deploy to devastated communities to assist those in need. For the rest of the year, teams serve at FEMA facilities in exciting metropolitan areas - Washington, DC, New York City, Atlanta, Kansas City, Dallas-Fort Worth, and more - preparing for the next disaster. Projects might include, to name a few: Educating communities by giving presentations to community groups. Developing materials that promote disaster preparation to the public. Ordering materials, tracking inventory, loading supplies, and managing FEMA IT equipment. Assisting with GIS mapping to assist with disaster response or disaster simulations. Updating electronic files, managing data, and writing reports. Working with nonprofits and government agencies to coordinate services for disaster survivors. Helping survivors complete applications for disaster assistance. Assessing and reporting damage to public facilities. Setting up shelter operations and re-unification of families and pets.
AmeriCorps NCCC is a full-time, team-based residential program for men and women ages 18-24. NCCC members are assigned to one of five regional campuses, where they are trained and placed into teams of approximately 10 members.
