Green and Healthy Homes Corps (GHHCorps) is a metro area AmeriCorps program operated by the non-profit, Sustainable Resources Center, Inc.(SRC). The mission of SRC is to create healthy and energy efficient home environments in partnership with families and communities. GHHCorps members work with SRC’s programs promoting green and healthy housing interventions through both physical work in homes and educational work with occupants. Members will work in each area of service on special projects, such as:

  • Environmental health exposures, such as lead, radon, carbon monoxide
  • Educational interventions for families with health, energy, safety and green living concerns
  • Energy efficiency, mechanical safety, and indoor air quality

SRC GHHCorps members not only gain valuable skills and experience that they will learn to apply in the
housing and environmental field, they will also have an opportunity to participate in service programs
and give back to communities in Minnesota.

This is a paid opportunity including a living allowance, dental/health insurance, student loan forbearance, and an education award in exchange for 1700 hours of service from August 20, 2012 to August 19, 2013.

Qualifications: 18 years or older, U.S. citizen/ national or lawful permanent resident alien, clean criminal history for work with elderly and children, and completion of a post-secondary program related to health, construction or housing, or a two-year A.A degree or completion of sophomore year in a four-year college program.
