Refill Jackson Initiative Green Corps
 
 
 
RJI Jackson Green Corps is designed to address dual community concerns. First, it seeks to combat the lack of opportunities for family-sustaining employment among disconnected youth. We know that green infrastructure, in which we include environmental work, manufacturing, transportation, construction, utilities, and logistics, is one of the identified priority areas for workforce development in Mississippi, with a large gap between available jobs and engaged workers. We also know these fields can be accessible to our target population with proper credentialing, training, wrap around social support, and work experience. Second, it addresses the impact of systemic environmental injustice, which contributes to vulnerability to climate change and shapes perceptions of neighborhoods in the West Jackson community. RJI will recruit, train and deploy 14 AmeriCorps members to engage in the following projects: stormwater management, water quality monitoring, and environmental projects in partnership with organizations in the Jackson Community. Additionally, our program will contribute to green infrastructure projects to construct flood mitigation parks in West Jackson. Other areas of focus include community beautification, cleanup efforts, disaster mitigation, and the rehabilitation of vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties in West Jackson, Mississippi.
