Hi! I just started looking into Americorps NCCC, and it seems like an amazing program! I am a little worried about the age limit. Is it ok to be 24 when starting assignment and turn 25 during one’s service? Or do you have to be 24 or younger during the entire period of service?

I was accepted into Americorps NCCC Class XVI- Atlantic Region!! This is my journey. We start out in Maryland and travel around the states to help those in need. I can't wait to tell you all about it! Much love, readers.

First Round:
New Orleans, LA- Working for the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and Warehouse.

Second Round:
Part One- Tree Planting & removing invasive species in Fair Haven, Vermont.
Part Two- Park Maintenance (removing invasive species) in Newark, Delaware.

Third Round:
Part One- Disaster Composite in New Orleans, working with Catholic Charities at their centers for people affected by the oil spill. Specifically, working with the kids of the families at the centers.
Part Two- Fixing up houses and planting hundreds of trees with Rebuilding Together New Orleans.

Fourth Round:
Doing construction with Habitat for Humanity in Camden, New Jersey.

Now I answer questions about NCCC, which I never expected. Feel free to check it out!
