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.

It was a great day for sawing out at the Sandy Meadows conservation property in Eastham 🙌. Over the last couple years, ACC has partnered with the Town of Eastham to return this property back to native heathland habitat.

ACC members assist with shellfish propagation efforts at all stages. Pictured here, Devine House members are assisting the Chatham shellfish division close down the upweller for the season. Upwellers are used to grow shellfish like quahogs, oysters, and bay scallops. Water from the harbor is circulated through the upweller to provide nutrients to the baby shellfish. The shellfish are only a couple millimeters big at this stage! 🦪 🌊

It may be raining outside today but we’ve had some beautiful weather this past week on the Cape! The Upper Cape had a great project day with Dennis Department of Natural Resources opening up and spreading the remote set oyster bags at West Dennis Beach. Aquaculture is always more fun in the sun 🌞

Service isn’t always easy but it certainly is rewarding. Upper Cape AmeriCorps members removed decades worth of illegal dumping from conservation property at Peterson Farm in Falmouth. They also created a new walking trail free of trash and invasive species! Swipe to see beautiful end product! 👉🌳🍁👣

Read about Jordan's first month navigating a new service year, battling tonsillitis, and discovering new found interests! Jordan is a native Cape Codder and we are so excited she returned "home" to complete her year of service. Jordan says she is "ecstatic to be serving with the Wellfleet Shellfish Department and can’t wait to help with projects that will increase the harvest for local fishermen. I’m also excited to continue a family legacy of working within the Cape’s fisheries.”

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.
