Hi friends at SEMCO,


My name is Maria Infante and I help to run an AmeriCorps program in Massachusetts called TerraCorps. TerraCorps works at the intersection of the land trust and urban agriculture movements to create a future where land is the foundation of health and well-being for all people in every community. We are starting recruitment for our 2019-2020 program and are looking for 48 AmeriCorps members to join our team!  If you would be willing to share this announcement with your members and networks, we would be so appreciative. Please feel free to let interested individuals know they can reach out to me directly with questions.

Many thanks for your help!
Maria

2019-2020 Position Openings with TerraCorps

TerraCorps is an innovative national service program that prepares and mobilizes emerging leaders to help communities conserve and secure land for the health and well-being of people and nature. We do this by supporting AmeriCorps members who serve with nonprofit organizations across the state to tackle issues around land access, urban agriculture, and conservation. This year we are looking for 48 members to join the TerraCorps team!

As a member you can serve with one of our nonprofit partners, in one of five coordinator positions: Community Engagement Coordinator, Youth Education Coordinator, Land Stewardship Coordinator, Regional Collaboration Coordinator, and Urban Agriculture Coordinator. Members will carry out capacity building projects; educate or train individuals; recruit, train, manage, and support community volunteers engaged in land-based activities; and identify new individuals and groups to participate in education, recreation, or service opportunities centered around land access and conservation.
Members serve in full-time (38 hour/week), 11-month positions from August 26th, 2019- July 31st, 2020. These 1,700-hour AmeriCorps positions receive a living allowance and are eligible for an education award, and additional AmeriCorps benefits. Application specifics, position descriptions, and additional information about how to apply can be found at www.terracorps.org/become-a-member/<https://terracorps.org/become-a-member/>

Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled. Interviews begin late-April, and we aim to fill all positions by  the end of July.

AmeriCorps programs provide equal service opportunities. TerraCorps will recruit and select persons for all positions to ensure a diverse and inclusive community. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and varying experiences, including people with disabilities, people of color, and LGBTQIA individuals. We will provide reasonable accommodations for interviews and services upon request. TerraCorps is a grant program of the Corporation for National and Community Service.
