We were thrilled to celebrate the contributions of our one of our own earlier this month at Rebuilding Together’s National Conference. Patty Solecki, who served two terms as an AmeriCorps CapacityCorps member with us from 2007-2009, was awarded the first Rebuilding Together CapacityCorps Legacy of Service Award! The award honors a CapacityCorps alum who exemplifies the spirit of AmeriCorps and a life-long commitment to serving their community.
We could not be prouder of Patty and all that she has accomplished. Since completing her terms of service, Patty has continued to give back – attending countless rebuilding projects, including every Building a Healthy Neighborhood event, MLK work weeks and other projects, and making an impact in at least a dozen communities. Congratulations Patty!

This January, Rebuilding Together held its annual MLK Week of Service in Lafayette, Louisiana, a town hard hit by last August’s massive floods. CapacityCorps members from Rebuilding Together affiliates nationwide converged on Cajun Country, and in conjunction with AmeriCorps members serving locally, performed a wide-range of renovations on a half dozen homes and a local Boys & Girls Club. Jacob was most proud of a ramp he and his team built that provided a homeowner easy access to his shed, while Steven took satisfaction in the role he played in constructing a drainage trench.
After several days of hard work, Steven and Jacob were afforded the opportunity to visit New Orleans for some much welcome R & R. Joined by a dozen other CapacityCorps members, the MLK Week of Service came to a celebratory close in the Crescent City. All told, the project was a major success, with Rebuilding Together CapacityCorps members providing material, as well as emotional uplift, to the aching but undeterred communities of Acadiana.
The deadline to apply to serve as an AmeriCorps member with us has been extended to June 30th.  We are currently recruiting two AmeriCorps members to serve from August 2016 through July 2017 as part of the Rebuilding Together CapacityCorps program. If you would like more information about this program, please visit: http://togetherwetransform.org/capacitycorps. If you are interested in applying, please click here.
