HELENA â Approximately 230 young adults from across the nation are departing for their second round of service with AmeriCorpsâ National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC). These teams have piled into vans and deployed across the country to âGet Things Done for Americaâ during the pandemic.
In a press release, the NCCC says the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated communities across the nation and that the pandemic has contributed to rising food insecurity and increased homelessness due to a lack of affordable housing and the ability to make ends meet.
