Serve low-income families and improve Des Moines neighborhoods while building your resume and earning money to pay for college! AmeriCorps members serve for approximately one year and develop valuable leadership, communication, organizational and teamwork skills through supporting the safe construction and renovation of affordable, energy efficient homes by community volunteers.
