National Association of Service and Conservation Corps (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The National Association of Service and Conservation Corps (NASCC), now known as The Corps Network, is an association of Service and Conservation Corps in the United States. It took shape in 1985, when the nation's first 24 Corps directors banded together to secure an advocate at the Federal level and a central clearinghouse of information on how to start and run "best practice"-based corps. Early support from the Ford, Hewlett and Mott Foundations was critical to launching the Association. The Corps Network has grown to encompass 143 Corps programs, both urban and rural, and has assisted in the birth of virtually all of these Corps. The Corps Network is governed by a board of directors composed of Corps program directors and nationally known individuals who bring expertise in national service, evaluation, youth development, education, conservation and employment and training.
