AmeriCorps Cape Cod has four focus areas: natural resource management, disaster preparedness and response, education, and volunteer engagement.
ACC’s efforts in the area of natural resource management are focused on projects like shellfishing, invasive plant species removal, and community garden maintenance. In the area of disaster preparedness and response, Members help organizations like the American Red Cross and the West Barnstable Fire Department prepare for and respond to disasters like hurricanes, fires, and widespread power outages. Our Members are also engaged in educating the public on issues like fire safety, recycling, and energy conservation. The fourth focus area, volunteer engagement, involves the recruitment of volunteers for service projects throughout the year, including the annual Canal Cleanup and the MLK Day of Service.
These four focus areas allow Members to help Cape Cod in a variety of ways, and address the individual needs of each town in Barnstable County.
