Now Accepting Applications for 2011-2012 AmeriCorps Program

(South Bend, IN): The Indiana RAP Corps, an AmeriCorps program funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service, is now recruiting for the 2011-2012 program year. This program, operating out of the American Red Cross, St. Joseph County Chapter, currently has members at 10 sites at Red Cross Chapters throughout North and Central Indiana. Logansport will again be a hosting site for this program.

Members of the Indiana RAP Corps work to increase community disaster preparedness and response by being trained as disaster responders and as educators so that they can help the community better plan for disasters likely in Indiana such as floods and tornadoes. In addition members of the Indiana RAP Corps assist with teaching life saving skills such as CPR, First Aid, and Blood Borne Pathogens.

As part of this program members receive a modest living allowance, and an education award that can be utilized for current or future education.

The Indiana RAP Corps Program’s current sites include South Bend, Elkhart, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, Bloomington, Logansport, and Indianapolis.

If you have questions about the opportunity in the Cass/White County Service Area contact Rocky Buffum, Executive Director at 574-753-6154 or rabuffum@casswhite-redcross.org.
