Individual Placements are long term projects, lasting the duration of the service year (October 2015 – July 2016). Projects should encompass at least one of AmeriCorps Cape Cod’s four focus areas. The program’s focus areas include Natural Resource Management,
Disaster Preparedness and Response, Environmental Education and Volunteer Engagement. AmeriCorps Cape Cod members are not employees or interns of the service site, nor should they displace current employees or serve in a regular staff positions. The member’s
role is to focus on a specific project. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
