Starting a Corps

The Corps Network’s vision is to see a well-funded,
high-quality Corps in every community

The Corps Network’s Starting a Corps Manual is available upon request to anyone interested in establishing a Corps program.

If you are interested in starting a Corps in your community, please contact Bobby Tillett at btillett@corpsnetwork.org. In your message, it is helpful if you provide the following information:

• Your name
• Contact information
• Your geographic location
• Whether you plan to have a target demographic when enrolling Corpsmembers
  (e.g. Native Youth, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Youth, LGBTQ Youth, etc.)
• The name of any proposed sponsoring organizations for your program
  (i.e. will your program be housed within a parent organization, educational institution or agency?)
• Areas of potential project work
  (e.g. urban forestry, park maintenance, storm water management, energy efficiency, etc.)

We look forward to learning about your goals!
