LISC AmeriCorps places passionate, dedicated individuals with community development groups in the neighborhoods where we work. These placements serve a vital, three-fold purpose: members serve the organizations where they are placed and spearhead valuable projects; they engage local residents in the revitalization of their own neighborhoods; and they develop skills, experience and insight into community development and the profound value of service.

I served because I want to see my community fulfill its potential. I want to be a resource for others because I know how important it is to know that someone is on your side.
