"We call our philosophy of training "empowered learning", which comes from Paolo Freire¹s work in popular education. Empowered learning embodies respect for all participants. We share what we know in a spirit of mutual exchange and equality and we expect to learn from the skills and life experiences of participants."

Americorps

"AmeriCorps*NCCC is a 10-month, full-time residential program for men and women between the ages of 18 and 24. AmeriCorps*NCCC combines the best practices of civilian service with the best aspects of military service, including leadership and team-building. Priority is given to projects in disaster relief, public safety, and public health.

All corps members and team leaders will live and work on one of four regional campuses—in Perry Point, Maryland; Charleston, South Carolina; Denver, Colorado; and Sacramento, California—for the duration of their training at the beginning of each Corps year, as well as for transition weeks between project rounds."

Stories

"I really can’t pinpoint an exact moment for myself, but somewhere in between the horrible heat and uncomfortable cots and bad lunches, I knew that I wanted to be here. Moreover, I knew we needed to be here. I stopped caring that I didn’t have a bedroom door or my laptop, and I started thinking about the parish. And not the way we had thought about it before. (After all, we always rationally knew that the work was important, and we always kept in mind that we were fortunate.) Thinking about the parish, we began to put our hearts into our work."
