  • SBP
  • New Orleans, LA

Job Description


Description:

Are you passionate about addressing social justice and sustainability? If so, our service-minded AmeriCorps team needs your help!

Climate change is here, increasing the size and frequency of natural disasters and displacing over 15 million people each year. Hurricanes like Ida, Harvey, Maria, and Katrina disproportionately affect underresourced communities, whose road to recovery often takes years. SBP is dedicated to shrinking the time between disaster and recovery, work that includes helping individual homeowners and communities rebuild after a disaster.

New Orleans members may also serve in SBP's Opportunity Housing Program in addition to working with home repair clients. The Opportunity Housing Program provides affordable, storm-resilient, energy-efficient homes for sale and rent to lower-income residents, to help them build resilience before disaster strikes. AmeriCorps members will gain valuable experience in how to redevelop neighborhoods and build housing that is affordable and resilient.

Why New Orleans?

Be steps away from the music, architecture, restaurants, and nightlife in one of the most iconic cities in the US by serving with us in New Orleans! You can bike through City Park or walk your dog on the trails in Audubon, all while enjoying jazz music and hot beignets. The culture of New Orleans is like no other in the US where communities come together to enjoy the Big Easy lifestyle. Serve for 10 months or stay forever as you fall in love and feed your passions in NOLA.

Position Description

  • As a Disaster Corps Project Lead, you will embody SBP's dedication to timely response, deploying to disaster-impacted communities following the immediate impact of natural disasters. When not on deployment, you will serve as Project Leads supporting recovery in your community. This is a vital part of the role, as some Disaster Corps members may not have the opportunity to deploy during their term.

SBP AmeriCorps Benefits:

  • Stipend of $2,100 per month (pre-tax)
  • Free individual health insurance
  • A housing stipend of $175/month for AmeriCorps alumni
  • Relocation reimbursement of up to $500 for eligible members
  • Segal Education Award of $6,895 (Can be used as tuition assistance and/or for repaying qualified student loans and is awarded upon successful completion of a 10-month term of service)
  • Student loan forbearance for qualified loans
  • Free Mental Health, Financial, and Legal support through the Member Assistance Program

Requirements

  • Be at least 17 years of age
  • Have a high school diploma or its equivalent.
  • Be a citizen, national, or lawful permanent resident alien of the United States.
  • Must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and be able to provide documentation of vaccination status prior to enrollment*
  • Ability to commit to serving full-time, Monday - Friday from 8 am - 5 pm and an average of 2 Saturdays a month. AmeriCorps members serve an average of 42.5 hours per week to complete 1700 hours of service during a temporary 10-month service term.

When would you start?

  • We have rolling start dates throughout the year! Submit your application now and one of our recruiters can talk to you about upcoming start dates. AmeriCorps team members commit to a 10-month service term.
