UlsterCorps is recruiting for a local Community Emergency Preparedness Corps (CEP Corps) position, an AmeriCorps program working to create disaster resilient communities by increasing preparedness of individuals and families through volunteer engagement. CEP Corps members will provide direct service and train volunteer leaders to recruit and educate teams of volunteers to: 1) Improve preparedness of individuals and families through local collaborative volunteer projects, service events, and trainings resulting in personal preparedness plans. 2) Expand Local Preparedness Networks and community capacity to respond to disasters by strengthening partnership networks while building a corps of trained volunteer leaders with specific focus on managing unaffiliated volunteers in emergency situations. 3) Support long-term recovery and sustainability by increasing organizational capacity to help individuals and families prepare and, in the case of disaster, more easily respond and recover from current events. CEP Corps members will serve 10-month terms beginning in January 2014. Each member will serve 1700 hours over the term of service (ending November 2014), averaging 40 hours per week, which may include some evening and weekend hours. Benefits include: Living allowance of $12,100 over term of service; An AmeriCorps Education Award ($5,645) upon successful completion of service; Health benefits and child care assistance if qualified. If you or someone you know is interested, please contact UlsterCorps at ulstercorps@gmail or call 845-481-0331.
