Spring time brings some exciting changes to Cape C

Spring time brings some exciting changes to Cape Cod. In anticipation of the annual herring run ACC members spent last Friday and Monday clearing the herring run in Harwich. Every year (usually between April and May) herring 🐟 return from the ocean to swim up river and streams to spawn in Cape Cod fresh water ponds. ACC assists these little guys journey by clearing out any debris that are blocking the run.

Meet the staff! AmeriCorps Cape Cod is excited to

Meet the staff! AmeriCorps Cape Cod is excited to welcome back Phoebe Plank in her new role as the Program Specialist! In her new role Phoebe will provide oversight to the Individual Placements aspect of the program, in additional to providing member development opportunities.

Phoebe grew up in North Ferrisburgh, VT. She graduated with a B.S. in Conservation Biology from St. Lawrence University. Phoebe’s passion for conservation and environmental education led her to AmeriCorps Cape Cod where she completed a year of service as a member of the Year 20 Corps. During her member year she individually served with the Town of Dennis Department of Natural Resources and the Dennis Conservation Land Trust where she gained valuable skills in land management and public engagement. Her admiration and respect for the professional development and support that AmeriCorps Cape Cod offers young people influenced her to remain with the program as the Year 21 Outer Cape Program Supervisor. After taking a short hiatus, Phoebe has returned as the Program Specialist and is excited to continue her journey with AmeriCorps Cape Cod. In her free time, you can find Phoebe out on a run, exploring new hiking trails, or soaking up sunshine at the beach.

TGIF! Greetings from your favorite AmeriCorps crew

TGIF! Greetings from your favorite AmeriCorps crews and fellow New Englander 🙌🥾

Our members virtually participated in a series of virtual events hosted for MLK. Shout out to @capecodvoices @capecodteensriseup and @masspromise for some insightful programming.

AmeriCorps Cape Cod is proud to have organized and

AmeriCorps Cape Cod is proud to have organized and hosted MLK Day service events over the past 20 years. These projects (pictured here) have addressed a series of community needs such as food security, education, homelessness, and the environment. Although AmeriCorps Cape Cod is not hosting an in-person event this year, our members are still finding ways to safely celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy and message. AmeriCorps Cape Cod members will (virtually) participate and continue our conversation surrounding racial equality and social justice.

We encourage you to find creative ways to safely engage in volunteer service in honor of MLK Day. You can partake in your own Covid-19 safe MLK day event by:
🥾Going outside: Clean-up your favorite beach or conservation trail. Take a bag with you when you go for a walk and pick up any trash you find along the way. Be sure to #maskup and practice social distancing.
📅 Planning for the future: Learn about a local nonprofit organization of interest near you and make a commitment to volunteer with them in the future.
🎓 Learning about racial justice: Sign up and participate in a virtual webinar or lecture.
