AmeriCorps Service Member Opportunities with TerraCorps

TerraCorps cultivates an ecosystem of people and organizations that center community land ownership, access, and stewardship to support a diversity of interests that benefit human health and environmental sustainability. We value the power of local nonprofits to best understand and serve their communities. Our goal is to help them succeed by providing them access to the AmeriCorps national service model to build organizational capacity.  

TerraCorps partners with a network of 40+ nonprofits in Massachusetts and Rhode Island focused on community needs related to local land conservation and sustainable agriculture. These partners act as service sites for a new cohort of up to 60 AmeriCorps service members annually. Service members are paired with a site supervisor who provides guidance and mentorship while they learn to manage community programs and projects over an 11-month, 1700-hour service term. Members serve in one of five coordinator roles focused on: 

• Land Conservation
• Land Stewardship
• Sustainable Agriculture
• Community Engagement
• Youth Education

Members serve in full-time (38 hour/week), 11-month positions from August 26th, 2024- July 25th, 2025. These AmeriCorps positions receive a living allowance and are eligible for an education award, and additional AmeriCorps benefits.
