    Hey want to thank you Mellon!!
    If I had not found your videos through the randomness that is the RUclips algorithm, I never would have found out about AmeriCorps NCCC.
    I just got accepted into the Summer 21 program and I can’t wait!

      @@mikaulapaymellen6679 Just wanted to say thank you again. I had one of the hardest, most amazing, most fulfilling years of my life though NCCC because I found this vlog! You no joke probably changed my life, so from the bottom of heart, thank you for making this vlog! Quick side note I have no idea how you had the time to produce this vlog. Our CRR struggled with getting enough photos for our debrief sometimes.

      @@MichiganMitten39 Thank you for the support. It's nice to hear that I made somewhat of an impact. The videos and vlog was honestly a team effort. I'd straight harass my team members for videos each work and they were happy to do it. It was my saving grace as well to keep these videos going. Even nicer that the comments have become a place for other NCCC people to talk! So thank you as well for watching my videos!

    So according the the Americorps website, if you apply during a certain months during the year means that you can only get assigned to a certain region.
    Fall Apply During: March 1- June 30 Serve: Oct- July Denver, CO; Sacramento, CA
    Winter* Apply During: July 1- Oct 31
    Serve: Feb- Nov Vinton, IA
    Summer Apply During: Dec 1- March 31 Serve: July- April Denver, CO; Vicksburg, MS; Vinton, IA
    Is this true?? Thanks in advance :)

    Does the NCCC FEMA Provide 2mmr/Tetanus Vaccinations and Immunizations for People Who Don’t Have Any Proof When They Arrive to Sacramento California or Did You Have to Pay Out of Pocket to Get the Vaccinations Before You Arrived to Campus?

      Tell you the truth. I served pre covid so I'm not sure of the regulations currently. There is a hotline that you can call and they are very helpful. I'm sure they can answer your questions. I called them alot before my term started.
