FCEH was proud to partner with AmeriCorps, a national service program that provides opportunities for individuals to serve their communities in many different capacities (often called the domestic version of the Peace Corps). FCEH had a total of 37 AmeriCorps members serve 2-6 months through the Volunteer Florida AmeriCorps State program. In exchange for a living stipend, educational award, and valuable on-the-job experience, members committed to intensive service that furthered our mission of caring for those who are homeless or at-risk of becoming homeless.
