WHAT DOES IT REALLY TAKE?
S
ince I got notified of my acceptance to AmeriCorps NCCC’s Atlantic Region my mind has been flooded with infinite questions. Upon finally arriving to Vicksburg, Mississippi I thought this feeling would end, I was wrong. I reassured myself that the feeling wouldn’t continue, but it carried on. Just when I believed that all my questions had been answered I was thrown a curve ball and everything was mixed up again! Being on Phoenix One there was an eminence amount of questions rushing through my head wondering how everything would work out. I’d wonder if I was cut out for it all, not only the Phoenix Unit but NCCC in it’s entirety. At the very first Phoenix meeting we all learned about the wild land fire training the Phoenix Unit would receive in the up incoming week. A week, five days of classroom training, followed by a few tests. I sat there wondering how can you learn everything you need to know in a week!? It was an impossible feeling coursing through my mind. The
PHOENIX 1
first day of fire camp they issued us these dark green cargo pants and this mustard yellow button-up, a helmet, a pair of leather gloves and fire boots. You cannot help but think to yourself, “This is supposed to keep me safe?” Shrugging it off I decided to trust my equipment and NCCC as a whole. After the first few days of training I started to realize how much we have all learned. On Phoenix One's first prescribed burn, I watched my fellow members of Phoenix One walk through tall grass, deep woods and thick patches of thrones with fire blazing behind them. All totally calm and collected, it felt like we had all been doing this for years and years. Then finally after weeks of being full of self-doubt and confusion I finally felt like I was starting to understand. The weeks of CTI and fire camp are put in place to give us knowledge that we need and to prepare us for every difficulty we’d encounter. The confidence we need and the ability to use those skills was

within us all there before we even got on the plane Vicksburg! It took something special to fill out and submit that application, and actually get on the plane. Committing 10 months of your life to stay with complete strangers to help out other Americans, no one can teach you how to do that. But the bigger challenge that we face as members of the Phoenix Unit is utilizing our common sense, confidence and shear will power to press on. All the personal protective equipment in the world couldn’t replace the heart you need to survive on the fire line, when you’re walking through a heavy field of grass up to your waist fire is chasing you out of the field. Your heart is racing, and you can’t quite decipher if the beads of sweat running down your face are caused the extreme heat of the fire or the simple fact that you are nervous. It is your personal will to reach excellence and your commitment to go that extra mile to get there. When the days are longer than your body can handle, everything within you is getting weak. Among every step thrones are ripping through the skin of your legs, and your environment stealing the life left in your body, yet you keep lifting your boots off of the ground.

Alcohol Awareness:
The Key to Community Change, Personal and Family Recovery
Twenty Eight Years of Improving and Saving Lives Through Prevention, Treatment and Recovery
E
ach April since 1987, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. (NCADD) sponsors NCADD Alcohol Awareness Month to increase public awareness and understanding, reduce stigma and encourage local communities to focus on alcoholism and alcohol-related issues. This April, NCADD highlights the important public health issue of underage drinking, a problem with devastating individual, family and community consequences. With this year's theme, "Help for Today, Hope for Tomorrow," the month of April will be filled with local, state, and national events aimed at educating people about the treatment and prevention of alcoholism. Local NCADD Affiliates as well as schools, colleges, churches, and countless other community organizations will sponsor a host of activities that create awareness and encourage individuals and families to get help for alcohol-related problems.

Starting their journey to Alaska to help the National Incident Management Assistance Team East (NIMAT East), with Alaska Shield training and exercise. But before we get into all that let’s give a little background on Atlantic Region Fox 5 and the Alaska Shield training. Fox 5 is comprised of second year FEMA Corps Members; each member is trained in different areas. The team has three female foxes Megan, Molly, and Adrienne, and four males foxes Nick, Ryan, John and team leader Chris. Fox 5 will be working directly with NIMAT East for their whole term of service. The NIMAT East travels throughout the nation responding to disasters, which ensures that Fox 5 will be traveling a whole lot this year. The task that Fox 5 is assisting in during this project is a disaster EXERCISE, the exercise is as follows: on

Thursday, March 27th, 2014 at 2:10pm EDT, an earthquake of preliminary magnitude 9.2 occurred 76 miles east of Anchorage, Alaska at a depth of 3.7 miles. The center of the earthquake was 76 miles East of Anchorage, Alaska and 58 miles South-East of Butte, Alaska. The earthquake was five minutes long. This exercise is based off a real event that happened 50 years ago. Alaska state and local, region 10 and NIMAT are all in Alaska to train and practice for if this event ever happened again. Fox 5 makes all connections to the rainy city of Seattle; Washington from here the journey gets exciting. The team heads to Joint Base Lewis- McChord to get airlifted in a C-17 to Anchorage, Alaska. The team is ready for a ride they will never forget. The plane is loaded with a Mobile Emergency Response System truck, equipment and a hand full of FEMA employees. The team takes off like a fox in the C-17 and makes a cold landing at Joint Base Elmendorf and Richardson (JBER) in Anchorage, Alaska.

cise. With a day to adjust to time and weather the team heads to the IOF back at JBER. The team separates into their areas of specialty: Nick to disaster servicer assistance, John to individual assistance, Megan to public assistance, Molly to planning, Ryan to logistics, Adrienne to external affairs, and Chris making sure all the foxes play nicely. For three days the team is at the IOF, learning what the first steps are after a disaster happens and what each specialty role does. Once setup, everyone moves to downtown the heart of Anchorage to the JFO. The team works hard playing out the exercise as if it’s a real event, thinking of survivors and the area affected. During the time the team was in Alaska they saw the northern lights, a moose and explored the downtown area of Anchorage. The team stayed 8 days in Alaska to only want to stay for longer.

Megan RawsonSouthern // Class XIX Region River 4 Team Leader Interview by: Meghan Lange & Rhiannon Williams
How did you find out about AmeriCorps NCCC? I actually happened upon the program while searching for other AmeriCorps programs in the portal! While I knew I was interested in doing environmental work, I wasn't quite sure to what specifically I wanted to commit a year of service. NCCC presented an opportunity for me to try a little bit of everything through its different service areas, while at the same time giving back to multiple communities and being able to work with a team, which really enticed me. How did NCCC impact your life? Honestly, in my year with NCCC, I experienced some of the lowest lows and highest highs I've ever had; even more overwhelmingly, those moments sometimes happened in the same 24 hours. I think once you've made it through a year with NCCC, you definitely come out stronger for it – I made some of the best friends I think I'll ever have; I learned where I can improve my skills, leadership and otherwise; and my team and I were also able to work with some pretty amazing sponsors, community members and local organizations along the way. I suppose most of all, my time with NCCC confirmed that I want to have a career in service and nonprofit work. What skills did you gain? I think two of the areas in which I developed most are my patience and my ability to share empathy with others – though I came into the program feeling very confident in both of these skills, I found myself reevaluating how I was doing every so often when I was having difficulties with my team. I think developing “soft” skills is similar to weight lifting; as you put what you know into practice, you lift and tear your muscle, which can be challenging, painful and even humbling, but after some time and in the end, you find yourself stronger than you ever thought you could be. What is your favorite aspect? My favorite aspects of the program are the traveling and the variety of service areas we do projects in. Most people who do the program haven't had the opportunity to travel like we were able to, or if they had, they haven't seen the low-income communities we work in in the same way. It really is an eye-opening way to see what for many is a different part of the country. It's also illuminating to find so many different kinds of work to do and so many fascinating, kind and well-meaning people along the way.

’ve noticed it’s not always easy to remember the people you're helping.
My team, Buffalo 1, is currently working in New Jersey, in the towns of Moonachie and Little Ferry. We're doing disaster recovery in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, which day-to-day means we're working with the Volunteer Center of Bergen County, Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster, as well as Rebuilding Together and Habitat for Humanity through them. We're laying concrete, renovating houses, painting, and at times, getting pretty muddy. It's physical labor and we go home dirty at the end of each day.

Surprisingly, as “cool” as all that sounds, we still often feel a little out of touch with the people we're helping. “I didn't really understand what had gone on here in the last two years,” said Ta-Jah Gordon, a fellow Buffalo 1 teammate. “I didn't understand what these people had lived through, and what the work we were doing meant to them.” After a while, when you really get to know the residents of these towns, you get a stronger sense of who they are—they stop being “homeowners” and start becoming human beings. One week, we were out in Little Ferry, laying down a concrete base to build a deck for a disabled couple, who we were having some difficulty connecting with. “They kinda seemed at first like they weren't very grateful,” said Eric Poencet, another member of Buffalo One. I have to admit, I felt like they were sort of picky about how we were working, mainly because they kept hovering over us throughout the day.

“That was a real eye-opener. These people had been ignored for a really long time, and we were reminded again why we had come to New Jersey in the first place.” We came to understand as the day progressed; how they had been affected by Hurricane Sandy, and how those feelings simultaneously affected us. Towards the end of the day, they warmed up to us a lot. I’m not sure if it was because they respected our work ethic, or our goodnatured attitude, but they did. “They bought us donuts, and the female homeowner gave us all hugs afterwards, and gave me a kiss on the cheek, which was a little weird, but it was cool,” said Eric. We realized we'd forgotten to see these people as people, who had been through a lot and just wanted to see that the work they needed done was done right.
needed help; though our help may be small, it is something. Our time in New Jersey has shown us that people really are grateful for the work we do—it just, may be hard to see it, or even for them show it sometimes. Everyone has a story, and it takes time to learn them.
During one of our first Independent Service Projects in New Jersey, Co'Tiah Isley, one of my Buffalo 1 teammates and I, had a chance to sit down with a couple who told us the story of what they experienced during Sandy. “We woke up, and all our stuff was under three or four feet of water,” they said. “We've been living in an apartment for the last couple of years.” We were surprised. They still hadn't moved into their house? “No,” they said. “After all this time, there's too much water damage, and a bunch of our stuff is gone. We can't move back.” That was a real eye-opener. These people had been ignored for a really long time, and we were reminded again why we had come to New Jersey in the first place. Like the couple who seemed too picky, or even the homeowners we never get to meet while out on projects, we realized that pivotal “a-ha” moment—people still
