FEMA Corps
FEMA Corps is a partnership between FEMA and the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) program.

FEMA Corps members live, work, and travel in dedicated teams and serve for 12 months with an option to extend for a second term.

They also earn a modest living stipend during their service and receive an education award upon completion of the program.

With support from innovative public-private partnerships, Neighborhood Networks centers sponsor a range of services and programs. Nearly all centers offer job training and educational opportunities, and many also provide programs that include access to healthcare information and microenterprise development.
