Description

Are you passionate about addressing social justice and sustainability? If so, our service-minded AmeriCorps team needs your help!

Climate change is here, increasing the size and frequency of natural disasters and displacing over 15 million people each year. Hurricanes like Ida, Harvey, Maria, and Katrina disproportionately affect under-resourced communities, whose road to recovery often takes years. SBP is dedicated to shrinking the time between disaster and recovery, work that includes helping individual homeowners and communities rebuild after a disaster.

Take a gap year with us! Over the course of 10 months, you can help us rebuild homes, repair lives, and fortify families from reaching their breaking point. As an SBP AmeriCorps member, you can directly assist in our construction and disaster deployment efforts, or play a crucial role in coordinating services to disaster survivors.

We have rolling start dates throughout the year, please feel free to message us if you're curious about specific start dates for the location you're interested in. We are always recruiting; it's never too early to apply!

Available roles:
Project Lead: construction work and leading volunteers
Disaster Corps Project Lead: construction work and possible deployment
Supply & Logistics Coordinator: organize warehouse and make deliveries
Construction Coordinator: design subcontractor schedules and monitor overall site progress
Volunteer Coordinator: recruit and coordinate volunteer visits
Client Services Coordinator: serve as a liaison to clients, providing referrals, and guiding through the application and construction process
FEMA Appeals Client Service Coordinator: assist clients with their eligibility for FEMA application or appeal assistance
Client Preparedness Coordinator: execute community-wide preparedness engagements
