Disaster Recovery AmeriCorps Team - Tampa, Florida

Description :

Do you want to make a difference in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton? If so, our service-minded AmeriCorps team needs your help to support disaster survivors!

Natural disasters are increasing in size and frequency, and displacing over 15 million people each year. Hurricanes like Maria, Milton, Helene, and Ian disproportionately affect under-resourced communities, whose road to recovery often takes years. SBP is dedicated to reducing the time between disaster and recovery, a process that includes helping individual homeowners and communities rebuild after a disaster.

Over the course of 10 months, you can help us rebuild homes, repair lives, and fortify families from reaching their breaking point. As an SBP AmeriCorps member, you can choose to directly assist in our construction and disaster deployment efforts or decide to play a crucial role in coordinating services to disaster survivors.
