<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Barnstable County, MA – Barnstable County AmeriCorps Cape Cod is holding two Individual Placement Request for Proposal (RFP) release meetings for all organizations that are interested in applying for an Individual
Placement for the 2016-2017 program year. The release meetings are scheduled for
<b>February 16, 2016 at 9:30 AM and February 18, 2016 at 2:00 PM. </b>Both meetings will be held in the Harbor View Conference Room located at the County Complex (3195 Main Street, Barnstable). Any organization that wants to apply for an Individual Placement

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">An Individual Placement is an opportunity for a Service Partner organization to host an AmeriCorps Cape Cod member for one or two days a week. Placements should be project-based and have clear goals and objectives.
Individual Placements are long term projects, lasting the duration of the service year (October 2016 – July 2017). Projects should encompass at least one of the following AmeriCorps Cape Cod focus areas: Natural Resource Management (land and water), Disaster
Preparedness and Response, or Environmental Education. Volunteer Engagement is encouraged as a component of all projects. 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 position. The member’s role is to focus on a specific project. <o:p>
