Disaster Recovery Ameri Corps Member

Are you passionate about addressing social justice and sustainability? If so, our service-minded Ameri Corps team needs your help!

Climate change is here, increasing the size and frequency of natural disasters and displacing over 15 million people each year. SBP is dedicated to shrinking the time between disaster and recovery, work that includes helping individual homeowners and communities rebuild after a disaster.

Take a gap year with us! Over the course of 10 months, you can help us rebuild homes, repair lives, and fortify families from reaching their breaking point. As an SBP Ameri Corps member, you can choose to directly assist in our construction and disaster deployment efforts or choose to play a crucial role in coordinating services to disaster survivors.

New Orleans members may also serve in SBP’s Opportunity Housing Program in addition to working with home repair clients. The Opportunity Housing Program provides affordable, storm-resilient, energy-efficient homes for sale and rent to lower-income residents, to help them build resilience before disaster strikes. Ameri Corps members will gain valuable experience in how to redevelop neighborhoods and build housing that is affordable and resilient.
