Rebuilding Together CapacityCorps is one type of AmeriCorps program, an AmeriCorps*National Direct program with members across the United States. Rebuilding Together CapacityCorps members will act as entry-level program managers in the areas of volunteer recruitment, program development, partnership development, client outreach and construction/home repair. The RT CapacityCorps positions are unique, as the members will both work in professional setting and have time out in the field – a combination of hands-on experience and professional experience.
