notes: A brief summery of the org.: The NASCC is an umbrella organiztion that provides funding to "service and conservation corps". A core is defined as a group of youth (usually between the ages of 16-25) that work in crews supervised by an adult. A corps is funded by private organizations and not-for-profits to focus the youths on serving the community and accomplishing projects for the benefit of not only the community, but for themselves as well. The NASCC has developed the GULF COAST RECOVERY CORPS through a grant that focuses on youth development through disaster response in the Gulf Coast for affected private homes as well as public land. The Gulf Coast Recovery Corps will serve in projects such as housing restoration, new construction, the restoration of a retreat center, long term recovery housing projects, and environmental restoration of parks and nature refuges. Availabilities include: - volunteer placement and coordination within the corps - volunteer housing for corps members Needs include: - dry wall - mud - nails - tape - sand paper - shingles - lumber - screws - paint All needs are "average" as the corps will is not fully functional yet, but accepting new volunteers as well as building supply donations. The storage space is limited -> About the Gulf Coast Recovery Corps The Gulf Coast Recovery Corps assists residents impacted by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in long-term recovery efforts along the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. The Gulf Coast Recovery Corps deploys crews of young people (ages 18-25) from the nation’s 113 Service and Conservation Corps for four week projects that include rebuilding homes and structures, chopping down damaged trees near homes, removing debris, restoring trails, replanting marshes and trees, performing environmental restoration and completing other projects. Building upon the successes of the Gulf Coast Recovery Corps, The Corps Network will establish a permanent Gulf Coast Conservation Corps this year to continue meeting the needs of local residents in the long-term recovery efforts.
