About this Opportunity

Serve with the Appalachian Ohio Restore Corps (AORC) and help support Rural Action, a membership-based non-profit organization promoting a healthy people, planet, purpose, and prosperity in Appalachian Ohio. AORC mobilizes nearly 75 AmeriCorps members to help educate youth and the public, restore, conserve, and preserve environmental resources, improve food distribution to people in poverty, support reduced waste and recycling initiatives, and promote economic resilience through conservation and sustainability projects. Members are placed with Rural Action programs or community non-profits to support specific projects and initiatives related to one or more of the following areas: Conservation & Restoration, Agriculture, Forestry, Education, Reduced Waste, and Public Lands Access. During a term of service, training opportunities such as First Aid/CPR, Wilderness First Responder, and GIS/GPS are offered which provide certifications to support members' service experiences and prepare them for the next step in their careers.
