Energy Corps in Your Community

Interested in having an Energy Corps member serve in your Montana community? See below for further information.

Eligibility
To be eligible as a host site, organizations must be a non-profit organization, school, public agency or municipality operating in Montana. As a part of the host site selection process, we consider the impact the members would have in the community of the host sites, the commitment of host sites to the AmeriCorps Energy Corps Project, the capacity of sites to manage the project, the ability of sites to comply with program requirements, and the understanding by host sites of National Service.

Benefits to host sites
Host sites experience numerous benefits in hosting an Energy Corps member including:

  • Access to a committed volunteer who will serve at your agency for 10 months
  • Ability to collaborate with a volunteer to address community issues;
  • Assistance in building community capacity to address energy problems;
  • Opportunity to serve as a personal and professional mentor;
  • Satisfaction of incorporating service into your agency and making a difference in your community.

Prohibited activities
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) prohibits AmeriCorps members from participating in a number of activities. Members may not participate in certain activities- including lobbying, political, religious, or advocacy activities-in the course of their duties, while charging time to the AmeriCorps program, or at the request of program staff members. Members and staff may not engage in any conduct that would associate the national service program or the CNCS with prohibited activities. Programs and host sites must become familiar with the specific prohibitions described in the CNCS formal regulations and the grant provisions.
