This is a blog about my experiences in AmeriCorps NCCC FEMA Corp program. I will be arriving at the Atlantic Region site in Maryland on August 6th for the Fall 2013 program ending in June of 2014. Will be discussing the process of joining AmeriCorp until then and sharing information.
Take a read and feel free to comment or send me a question. Hopefully I can share some insights.

Time for a Break

As the end of this round winds down, we are getting our two week break where we have the opportunity to go back to where we are from for those two weeks if we wish. For the break, you are responsible for covering the transportation costs to and from wherever you are going and being back to your campus when the break is over.

As for the time of break, there is no set time that each team goes on break, although each teams break is for two weeks (currently).   Will be nice to have a break before we start our next round.

Any questions?  More posts to come, stay tuned.

Q & A - Travel Profile

Q: What if we filled out the travel profile ahead of time before we got the welcome packet? - Michael P.

A: Filling out the travel profile once you have been accepted by an AmeriCorp program is good. Be aware that I don't officially represent AmeriCorp or other organizations, but unless you have heard different from an official source, filling out the travel profile (How you would like to travel ideally). Filling the travel profile out helps AmeriCorp plan how to get you to the training site when the round begins and where you are coming from. Unless someone from AmeriCorp who stated that they work for them and gave you their job title told you different, filling out the travel profile once you are able to fill it out or are asked to fill it out shouldn't be a problem.

Questions are always welcome here and they help make this blog more interactive. Any information sent along with the questions will be kept private and I only put a partial name after the question to show the writer that it was their question. No full names will be released for privacy reasons.
All questions are welcome. If I don't have the answers to the question, I will do my best to direct you to where you can find the answer. Keep the questions coming and expect some more posts within the next couple weeks if not sooner. Have a couple in the works currently. So long for now.
