Today our year 22 members were virtually sworn in

Today our year 22 members were virtually sworn in at the Barnstable County Regional Commissioners meeting. The cool thing about having a virtual ceremony was that members were able to call in from their Individual Placements from all over the Cape. Welcome to the cape year 22! We can’t wait to see what this year has in store.

Happy National Oyster Day! ACC members assist Cape Cod towns with their shellfish propagation programs serving in all weather conditions. Sometimes they also serve at odd hours to accommodate local tides. Oysters are vital to helping clean up our water ways! One adult oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day!

This morning AmeriCorps Cape Cod staff attended the opening of the @theharwichconservationtrust latest parcel, Muddy Creek Headwaters Preserve.
Over the past couple years AmeriCorps Cape Cod members have served alongside HCT performing stewardship activities-like removing invasive vegetation. It was wonderful to see the volunteer work of multiple organizations like the Chatham-Harwich Newcomers’ Woodworkers club and Eagle Scouts result in this beautiful conservation property. Congrats on all your hard work!

AmeriCorps Cape Cod will be suspended effective Ma

AmeriCorps Cape Cod will be suspended effective May 31st for the remainder of the service year. We remain committed to providing the best and safest service environment for our upcoming program year. AmeriCorps Cape Cod and Barnstable County staff are working with members to ensure a smooth and safe transition out of the program residences.
We would like to thank our year 21 AmeriCorps members for their outstanding dedication to service. Over the course of 9 months our members successfully came together to complete meaningful service in the Cape Cod Community. They have improved conservation trails and open space - at times battling greenbrier, poison ivy, and ticks. They have installed symbolic shorebird fencing, propagated shellfish, and raised osprey poles to benefit the wildlife that also calls Cape Cod home. They sought out opportunities to get involved in the community- sharing fellowship over community dinners and volunteering with local organizations outside of ACC programming. They were an amazing corps!
We will be celebrating our member's achievements in a virtual graduation/ celebratory event on June 23rd at 11 AM EST. Stay tuned for more information!

You can find this amazing view by checking out the Maple Swamp Conservation Lands. 💥Picture 2: Our Lehac house members pose after a field day of cutting pitch pines for habitat restoration at Hawksnest State park with Brewster DNR. 💥Picture 3: ACC Members from all over the cape served alongside the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe AmeriCorps members to spend the day putting up symbolic shorebird fencing with @massaudubon staff 🐦 Next time you are at the beach be sure to look for this fencing and respect our shorebird friends nesting habitat. 💥Picture 4: Upper Cape members spent a group service day clearing herring runs in preparation of the herring migration that happens every spring here on the cape🐟

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT! Kelsey lives in one of our Upper Cape houses and spends her Tuesdays-Thursdays serving with Town of Dennis Department of Natural Resources and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust. We asked Kelsey what advice she would give to future members. She replied, "When you join ACC you become part of the Cape community, so get out there and meet the locals! Say yes to opportunities to get things done in the field and be willing to step outside the ACC bubble to truly enjoy the off season on Cape Cod." We admire Kelsey's can-do attitude and her commitment to service here on Cape Cod. We are happy to have her as part of the Year 21 crew!
