The Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation (YNDC) added some new team members on Friday.

Seventeen new AmeriCorps members were sworn in, committing to the YNDC program for the next year. They will help to spruce up the city of Youngstown and help to revitalize the area.

“They cut grass at about 3,000 vacant homes, just in the past couple months. They’ve boarded up 275 houses. They clean up vacant houses,” said YNDC Director Ian Beniston.

AmeriCorps members will also be awarded up to a $6,000 education award once they complete the program.
