[SEMCO] AmeriCorps service opportunity with TerraCorps in Rhode Island

[Maria Infante]

Dear SEMCO friends,

There's an exciting opportunity to join TerraCorps this December and spend 8 months serving with one of our nonprofit partners in Massachusetts.  This winter we are looking for members to join our team for an 8-month term of service (December 9, 2021-July 29, 2022).  TerraCorps Service Members receive a living allowance, education award and additional AmeriCorps benefits.

TerraCorps<http://www.terracorps.org/>  is an AmeriCorps affiliated environmental nonprofit growing a more equitable ecosystem of people and organizations to protect and steward land for broader good. We do this by supporting AmeriCorps members who serve with nonprofit organizations across MA, CT and RI to tackle issues around land access, sustainable agriculture, and conservation. At this time we are looking to fill a Regional Collaboration/Land Stewardship Coordinator (RCC/LSC) position with Rhode Island Land Trust Council.

The RCC/LSC position builds long-term capacity for their organization by assessing community needs related to land conservation and land access and then organizing collaborative community projects to help meet these needs. An RCC/LSC coordinator convenes and coordinates municipal boards, all-volunteer local land trusts, planning agencies, nonprofits, government agencies, neighborhood groups, and local businesses to build regional networks, and organize collaborative cross-sector working groups to initiate new projects around community needs.  By providing training and organizing collaborative land-focused projects, they increase resources for community projects, demonstrate environmentally responsible land management, help individuals build skills, and nurture an inclusive sense of public ownership in the local landscape.

The RCC/LSC position with RILTC will help land trusts implement systems and train volunteers for monitoring and stewarding protected lands, while also supporting land trusts with their monitoring programs.  This position is also responsible for developing promotional materials and campaigns to increase public awareness of land trusts and enjoyment of the places land trusts are protecting; and organizing and convening regional meetings of land trust leaders to foster networking and collaboration.
