Join CLEARCorps

CLEARCorps is an AmeriCorps National Service Network Program working to reduce childhood lead poisoning in the housing of low-income families. Teams of CLEARCorps members are trained to educate the community on lead risk reduction, while repairing, cleaning, and painting homes to reduce lead levels.

The Minneapolis CLEARCorps site is hosted by the Sustainable Resources Center, a 28-year-old environmental organization located at 1916 2nd Avenue South in the Stevens Square neighborhood.

SRC’s CLEARCorps program works in both urban and rural areas of Minnesota. Our CLEARCorps members reduce lead levels in housing, provide landscaping services to cover up lead in soils, and educate community members on the dangers of lead.

CLEARCorps members serve a one-year term of service. New members are added to the team at various times of the year. In return for their service, Corps members receive an annual living stipend of $12,000, health insurance, a child care allowance, and an education award of $4,725 upon successful completion of service. We are looking for applicants who are age 17 or older, enjoy a challenge, thrive as part of a team, and want to get things done in the community.
