March 15th Deadline for NCCC applications

Are you at a turning point and need to make some important decisions? Will you go to college? Work? Grad school?

Last year, many of the most promising young people chose "none of the above." Instead, they built decent homes for families who had been living in shelters, run-down apartments, or on the street. They started tutoring programs that taught thousands of children and adults to read. They traveled to rural and urban communities across the country. These young people spent the year changing people’s lives-including their own-in ways that will last a lifetime.

They chose AmeriCorps*NCCC.

There’s still time for you to choose the road less traveled and join other young people, ages 18-24, in a year of service and discovery. The application deadline for fall enrollment is March 15th.
