ServiceCorps is a community youth corps, designed to create the region’s next generation of leaders through civic engagement and leadership development.
It is based on discipline and teamwork, and its goal is to create individuals that are civic leaders, well versed in community needs and solutions, and able to take meaningful leadership roles within their lives and our nation.
ServiceCorps will be holding open recruitment days for the YouthBuild and EnviroBuild programs, in which youth will learn construction skills and valuable life skills while being provided the opportunity to earn their GED.
