Barnstable County AmeriCorps Cape Cod
2017-2018 Individual Placement Request for Proposal Release

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 2017-2018 program year.  The release meetings are scheduled for January 31, 2017 at 9:30 AM and February 2, 2017 at 2:00 PM.  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 is required to attend one of the meetings.

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 2017 - July 2018). 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.

To be eligible to apply for an Individual Placement, your organization must be a non-profit, school, or governmental entity within Barnstable County.
All Individual Placements awarded will be contingent on continued grant funding.
