Member Duties : These summer AmeriCorps members will spend a short term (serving full time during the summer) with full-term and half-term AmeriCorps members to help support local food distribution, to further sustainable practices, to engage local kids in experience-based environmental education, and to interrupt the waste stream to divert useable and recyclable goods from the landfill. Members will help to aggregate and distribute local produce and increase community access to fresh, healthy foods. Members may engage directly in environmental restoration efforts as weather permits. This will be a fast-paced term that, if successful, will offer further service opportunities at its conclusion or in future years.
