This September, YNDC welcomes 8 new AmeriCorps members to our team as part of the YNDC REVITALIZE AmeriCorps Project.
These new members include: Henry Britt, Leonard Carter, DeShawn Dale, Deon Jackson, Taylor Johnson, Daniel T. Mitchell, Jessica Morris, and Brian Partee-Wallace. These members will serve alongside AmeriCorps member James Parker, who will be serving his second term with YNDC this year; and with current members Anthony Campbell and Charles Bell, both of whom are completing their first term.
AmeriCorps REVITALIZE team members serve a one-year term at YNDC to board up, cut grass, and rehabilitate vacant homes across the city. They will gain basic experience and on-site training in the construction and landscaping fields during their service terms. Over the past two years, AmeriCorps members have enabled YNDC to rehabilitate dozens of vacant homes, board up nearly 1,000 vacant homes, and complete over 18,000 unique grass cuts to vacant properties to date. We welcome our new members and look forward to working with them this year in our continued efforts to REVITALIZE Youngstown!
