Dear AmeriCorps NCCC Class XXII Corps Member,

Since our Welcome Packets are finalized in April for classes starting in October, there is often additional information

that comes out post-print that we want to share with you. This packet contains some of that information, as well as

other reminders, so please read it carefully, especially the Core Expectations document (pages 12-14) and be ready

to agree to and sign it prior to being inducted as an NCCC member. There is a pre-arrival assignment for you

outlined on pages 5-11 to get registered with the American Red Cross. We have a series of three pre-arrival

conference calls that you can join; details are on page 15. Also, remember to join the Class XXII Facebook Group

page to meet some of your future Corps-mates, get answers to your questions, and find any additional updates

before you travel to campus. You can search Facebook groups for “AmeriCorps NCCC Fall 2015: Denver Campus”

or find the page at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1467064923507381/

We look forward to meeting you on Wednesday, October 7!

Yours in service,

AmeriCorps NCCC Southwest Region Staff

Don’t Forget

Bring with you

Photo ID (see pg. 14 of your main Welcome Packet for list of allowed IDs)

Most current 3-year driving record and your Driver’s License

Please bring a copy of your current Tetanus immunization record (if received within the last 7 years)

and present to the medical staff during medical checks. If your Tetanus is not current or you do not

bring your immunization record, you will be provided with a tetanus shot.

You are encouraged to bring a 3-month supply of all prescription medications. It is your responsibility

to get medication refills before you run out.

Student loan and lender information (if you have a federally-backed student loan)

Voided blank check- only if you haven’t already set up a bank account for direct deposit of your

living allowance on your ‘My AmeriCorps’ online portal

If applicable, child care benefit forms and documentation (see p. 25 of main Welcome Packet)

See page 37 of your Welcome Packet for a comprehensive list of packing suggestions

Leave at home

Personal Vehicles. Vanessa Davis (303-844-7403 or [email protected]) will be

arranging flights or train rides for you. If you choose to drive, you will NOT

be reimbursed for mileage and you cannot park your personal vehicle

on campus.

Illegal drugs. AmeriCorps NCCC has zero tolerance for illegal drug use.

You will undergo a drug screening upon arrival as part of a physical exam.

Urinalysis drug screening will also occur randomly throughout the 10

months of service. Urinalysis testing and searches of campus facilities can

also be done if probable cause exists. Anyone testing positive for illegal

drugs including marijuana will be immediately dismissed from the

program. Drug paraphernalia found in a person’s possession will lead

to dismissal as well. These policies remain unchanged, despite

Colorado’s recent decriminalization of marijuana,

since we are a federal program.

What’s new?

Welcome Class 22 of

AmeriCorps NCCC to

Denver, Colorado! You have

been selected to participate in a

life-changing journey of service,

growth, challenge, and great

achievement. You will gain new

skills and friendships while also

having the opportunity to serve

your country in an admirable

way. There will be days when you

will question if you are able to

complete the 10-month period of

service until you look around and

see the fellow Corps Members

that are enduring and

overcoming the same obstacles

right along next to you. I look

forward to meeting each of you

and seeing the great

achievements that you all are

certain to accomplish this year.

-Kristin Schmitt

Alpine Unit Leader

Staffing Updates

We have a new Unit Leader for our traditional teams! Fire Unit Leader Jolie

NeSmith moved on to a position with the Special Olympics. So, our own

Kristin Schmitt, who has been a Unit Leader in FEMA Corps for the past

three years, will be moving over to the traditional side to fill the empty

position. We are retiring the “Fire Unit” name with Jolie’s departure,

so some of you will now be assigned to the “Alpine Unit!”

Sarah Lyke, who previously served as our Residence Coordinator,

is now an Assistant Program Director for FEMA Corps. She is

still part of our Denver-based staff, but her role has shifted

to identifying lodging options for FEMA Corps teams.

Arrival Day Updates & Reminders

If you will be flying into Denver International Airport or

arriving by train at Denver’s Union Station, please remember

to look for somebody holding an AmeriCorps NCCC sign.

They will provide you with your next steps.

If somebody will be dropping you off in Denver by car,

please keep an eye on your email. We’re still finalizing

arrival day details, but, if you indicated on your

Transportation Selection Form that you’re arriving by car,

we’ll be reaching out to you with arrival day details as

soon as we are able.

Your lodging while you are in Denver will be in an extended

stay hotel. You will receive your specific hotel assignment

during your in-processing on the day you arrive.

Other Updates

Henceforth, you will be known as Class 22, as opposed

to Class 22A. Due to some consolidation in the way FEMA

Corps will be administered nationally, Denver will not host

FEMA Corps classes after Class 21B graduates this November.

In the past we’ve differentiated our traditional and FEMA Corps classes

with “A” and “B”, but won’t need that moving forward.

Keep a close eye on the schedule you receive upon arrival for where you

need to be on any given day during training. With our recent relocation,

we’re trying out several different training venues. Your team leader will

also help you get where you need to be, but just a heads-up that you will

likely be training other places in Denver, as well as on the Federal Center.

Typo correction: Veterans Day is November 11 in 2015, not November 10.

Hello Class 22 NCCC Team Leaders and Corps Members:

This document will guide you through the registration process for becoming American Red Cross (ARC) volunteers as part of an NCCC assignment. ARC and NCCC have a long relationship in developing and supporting national service volunteers for disaster relief operations. Not all teams will be deployed to a disaster assignment. However, all teams need to be ready to respond if called.

Every new NCCC team leader and corps member needs to complete FOUR STEPS to prepare for potential NCCC deployment to a disaster situation including registering and watching four video classes online before coming to campus. RETURNING Corps Members and Team Leaders who completed these classes last year as part of Class 21 DO NOT need to re-take these courses. If you do not have access to a computer, you will need to complete the process in the evenings after the end of other trainings, so we highly encourage you to finish them before arrival if possible.

Each NCCC campus has a Red Cross host chapter that helps members prepare for potential deployment to relief operations. Your host chapter is the Mile High Chapter, Colorado & Wyoming Region of the American Red Cross.

In addition, you will receive Red Cross first aid /CPR/AED training from the Mile High Chapter when you are on campus.

Please follow these INSTRUCTIONS! The instructions on how to complete each step must be

followed exactly. Do NOT google Red Cross and sign up at their general website – NCCC registrants

must follow the below procedures.

You will need to pay close attention. There are a lot of steps. There are elements within each step that

must be completed correctly the first time to ensure that everything is accurate. Get someone to help

you with the directions if needed. NCCC contact information is listed at the end of these directions.

required assignment before you arrive

PLEASE COMPLETE BEFORE REPORTING TO CAMPUS

Read and follow these instructions exactly. Plan on this taking about FIVE hours. It

does not need to be done all at once, but should be done before you arrive at

campus if possible. You must use a computer with Internet Explorer browser.

AmeriCorps NCCC Core Expectations for Corps Members & Team Leaders

The mission of the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) is to

“strengthen communities and develop leaders through direct, team-based national and

community service.” AmeriCorps NCCC does two things: strengthens communities and develops

leaders. We do them one way: through direct, team-based national and community service.

The NCCC is modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) of the 1930s and incorporates

aspects of teamwork, leadership, and self-discipline derived from the military. NCCC is a

structured program with strict policies regarding uniforms, visual facial piercings, hairstyles, use of

drugs and alcoholic beverages, punctuality, physical training and work ethic.

Participants selected to serve in the NCCC are referred to as corps members, are between the

ages of 18 and 24 and have demonstrated strong interest and commitment to national service.

Corps members serve for 10 months on teams of 8-12 members and are led by a team leader.

Team leaders, generally similar in age to Corps Members, are enrolled through a separate

selection process and are responsible for team performance in fulfilling the NCCC mission.

The NCCC has two branches of service: the Traditional Corps and the FEMA Corps. Traditional

Corps teams participate in community service projects that respond to locally-identified needs in

the areas of natural and other disasters, infrastructure improvement, environmental stewardship

and conservation, energy conservation, and urban and rural development. NCCC FEMA Corps

teams participate in service projects identified by FEMA that respond to disaster preparation and

long-term disaster recovery efforts.

An NCCC project can last from 1 day to several months, but are typically 6-13 weeks long. Teams

will do a variety of projects throughout their term of service, performing a minimum of 3 different

projects. Spikes, projects that require a team to temporarily establish a base of operations in

another community away from the campus, are in a wide variety of settings from remote rural

areas to the inner city. Campuses may also have local projects, projects in the same community

where the NCCC campus is based.

AmeriCorps NCCC operations are based on five regional campuses, strategically located around

the country. Campuses are located on a closed military base, a veterans’ medical center, a

college campus, and a municipal facility. Members can choose their attendance cycle (fall or

winter), but do not select their service campus.

Atlantic Region (Baltimore, MD)

Southern Region (Vicksburg, MS)

North Central Region (Vinton, IA)

Southwest Region (Denver, CO)

Pacific Region (Sacramento, CA)

Corps members and team leaders live in dormitory-like facilities when based at the campus.

When on spike, they live with their teammates in provided housing within the community they are

serving. Members should expect a variety of accommodation styles and anticipate living in

modest, sometimes rustic conditions. Teams travel in passenger vans with limited space,

sometimes for long distances, to get to project sites. Members will experience a lack of privacy

as the team eats, lives, serves, and travels together. Teams shop for and prepare meals together

and may have to compromise on menu selection and dietary preferences to stay within a limited

team budget.

Page 13: Welcome Packet Supplement - Class 22

NCCC values diversity and requires a spirit of inclusion. As we strive to serve different communities

across the US, we cannot deliver on our mission without diversity amongst our corps members,

team leaders and staff. In NCCC, as with the communities served, you will work alongside people

with different social, economic, ethnic, political, and religious backgrounds, as well as different

sexual orientations, gender expressions, educational experiences, and physical and mental

abilities. There will be differing viewpoints, feelings, perspectives, and values. Corps .members,

team leaders and staff are expected to be respectful at all times, even when you disagree. Corps

members, team leaders and staff are expected to ensure that anyone who is committed to

national service and NCCC’s mission of strengthening communities and developing leaders is

welcomed and included in the NCCC community.

NCCC is a rigorous national service program. Corps members and team leaders receive support

on campus and in the field from NCCC staff, one another, sponsoring organizations, residents of

the communities in which they serve, as well as friends and family at home. While there is a strong

support network in place, as an NCCC participant you will be fully responsible for your success in

the program. Specifically, you will be expected to:

THE BASICS:

Comply with the rules and the NCCC Member Handbook and accept personal responsibility

and possible disciplinary consequences for your behavior and actions.

Participate fully in all required elements of the NCCC program including:

o Community service projects

o NCCC- and sponsor-delivered trainings

o Project debriefs

o Physical training

o Any other mandatory events as determined by NCCC staff

NCCC service comes with the expectation that members will be sober, alert, present and fit

for duty during the duration of their service commitment. As such, members must:

o Use alcohol legally, responsibly, and in accordance with NCCC policies.

o Be completely free of any drugs that are illegal under federal law.

o Submit to random drug testing.

Promote your safety and the safety of your teammates.

Manage and cope effectively in high stress environments.

WORK RELATED:

Deploy to any approved location and/or project.

Demonstrate flexibility and adaptability to sudden and unexpected changes to your work

and/or living environments.

Complete service assignments that may vary greatly to include administrative tasks

completed in office settings and manual labor tasks completed in remote outdoor locations.

Work beyond traditional hours, possibly including weekends, nights and holidays.

Operate equipment and property of NCCC and/or your sponsor organization, with

appropriate training and supervision without endangering yourself or others or causing any

damages due to your negligence.

Demonstrate professionalism with project sponsors, community members, teammates, team

leaders and NCCC staff. Professionalism includes:

o Following direction and instruction from supervisory personnel.

o Working cooperatively and collaboratively.

o Demonstrating patience, empathy and courtesy.

o Giving and receiving feedback constructively.

o Maintaining appropriate personal appearance and hygiene.

Page 14: Welcome Packet Supplement - Class 22

o Being respectful in all forms of communication.

Be physically, mentally and emotionally fit for duty. This includes:

o Disclosing any pre-existing medical conditions (physical, mental and/or emotional) to

NCCC prior to arriving on campus.

o Demonstrating basic self-management skills, including but not limited to adequate sleep,

nutrition, hydration, fitness and hygiene.

o Being personally responsible for direction given for your physical, mental and emotional

health from medical professionals.

o Independently managing and taking any prescribed medications.

o If serving in the Traditional Corps, being capable of performing physical activity such as

trail building, home construction, tree planting, and removal of invasive plant species.

o If serving in the NCCC FEMA Corps, passing a clearance background check from the

Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

TEAM RELATED:

Live in a communal setting, sharing a living space that may offer little to no privacy. This may

include:

o Residing in rustic living conditions such as camping or sleeping on the floor in close

quarters.

o Sharing one bathroom with the entire team for the length of the project.

o Participating in the upkeep of the shared living space with limited resources for such

upkeep.

o Having no or very limited access to technology (cell phones, computers, internet, etc.).

o Residing in accommodation where restrictions such as a curfew may be in place based

on the requirements of the facility.

Adjusting to limited nutritional options which may require corps members and team leaders to

supplement their dietary requirements.

Express your needs and preferences so your teammates are aware, while at the same time

putting the team’s interest ahead of your own.

Develop respectful relationships with other people from diverse backgrounds, respect

differing opinions and build a welcoming, inclusive environment for all.

Engage in effective conflict resolution and problem solving with teammates, team leaders,

NCCC staff, community members and project sponsors.

Manage anger, frustration and disappointment constructively and in a way that does not

impede the ability of other members to pursue and accomplish the NCCC mission.

But There’s

Wait, More!

We’re going to throw in three FREE conference calls for you!!

Southwest Region staff will host three

conference calls in the weeks before your

campus arrival. On these calls we will go over

questions that members frequently have prior to

arrival, and you’ll have the opportunity to ask

your own questions as well. If you are unable to

make any or all of these calls, fear not. All of

the critical information you need to know is in

the Welcome Packet, and you can always

contact staff directly with questions. This is

simply another opportunity for you to connect

with staff before arrival. These calls will also be

recorded; we’ll put up play back information

on the Facebook group after each call. We

hope you can join us!
