Minnesota GreenCorps is now accepting applications from organizations interested in hosting an AmeriCorps member for the 2026-2027 program year. The MPCA plans to place up to 58 full-time members with host sites across the state. Members serve full-time for 11 months from September 2026 to mid-August 2027. Organizations eligible to host Minnesota GreenCorps members include government entities (local, regional, state, and Tribal), school districts, public education institutions, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits.
As a host site, your organization can harness a member's energy and enthusiasm to move your environmental projects forward. Member projects must align with one of four topic areas: community readiness and outreach, energy conservation and green transportation, stormwater and forestry, or waste reduction and recycling. Host sites don't pay a fee to participate in the program but are expected to provide supervision, office space, internet and phone service, training, and any resources necessary for members to accomplish their projects. The MPCA manages the recruitment, application, and selection process for Minnesota GreenCorps members.
