Rural Iowa AmeriCorps

The Center for Rural Revitalization recognizes the needs of rural Iowa are community specific; each community finds unique solutions to enhance the quality of life for their residents and visitors. These solutions improve community health, retain local talent, attract new residents, and build a sense of place. AmeriCorps members will support quality programming and spaces that encourage people to live, work, play and engage in vibrant rural places. An organization or community will identify a specific local need with a focus on either Community Development or Capacity Building, with a quality-of-life emphasis. Community Development projects aim to inspire community engagement and spur action. Capacity Building projects support current community efforts through program development, outreach and systems or resource development.
