AmeriCorps is a national service movement with roots in the Peace Corps and the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). AmeriCorps provides thousands of Americans of all ages and backgrounds with an opportunity to address pressing community needs by completing a year of service. In exchange for their service, AmeriCorps members receive a small living allowance and an education award.
The Oregon Trail Chapter sponsors three AmeriCorps programs: the Oregon State Service Corps (OSSC), the Clara Barton VISTA Corps (CBVC) and the Oregon Community Action Corps (OCAC). OSSC and CBVC AmeriCorps members serve individually or in pairs at non profit organizations, government agencies and schools throughout the state of Oregon. OCAC AmeriCorps members serve at Community Action Agencies and their affiliates throughout Oregon.
