Apply to Serve with TerraCorps

The TerraCorps program is less than a year, but lasts a lifetime.

TerraCorps members help local nonprofits conserve and use land resources for a broad spectrum of community needs spanning the rural to urban landscape gradient. As a member, you will serve directly with a community-based organization to support the healthy growth of their communities while building your own professional network and skillset.

Our service member positions run from late-September through July. Service members in 2025-26 will receive:

• A biweekly living allowance, before taxes, that amounts to $27,666 for the full service term.
• A $7,395 AmeriCorps Segal Education Award upon satisfactory completion of the service term.
• Health insurance coverage (if eligible).
• Childcare benefits (if eligible).
• Forbearance of most federally guaranteed student loans, and payment of interest accrued during service.
• Qualified eligibility for SNAP benefits in Rhode Island and SNAP/HIP benefits in Massachusetts.
• Mentorship, training, and career development opportunities while serving directly with community-based nonprofits.
• The personal rewards of national service and community engagement.
• Lifelong connections to a growing network of people and organizations.
