What We Do

The NJ Secure Corps is an AmeriCorps program devoted to strengthening New Jersey’s domestic preparedness and security. Its mission is to

• Assist counties in developing and staffing Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (VOADs);
  
  
• Assist County Offices of Emergency Management with training initiatives;
  
  
• Organize education and outreach programs regarding disaster planning and public health preparedness;
  
  
• Provide guidance on volunteer and donations management; and
  
  
• Assist in the development and maintenance of a statewide database and communications mechanism.

AmeriCorps is the national service program, sometimes called “the domestic Peace Corps,” that engages citizens of all ages and backgrounds in community service. The NJ Secure Corps seeks people of all ages and backgrounds and is particularly interested in individuals who have backgrounds in national and international service, disaster preparedness, emergency response, community organizing, health care, volunteer management, technology, and public safety.
