Welcome!

Community Corps strives to increase individuals’ sense of citizenship to build better community. The program aims to provide young adult citizens the opportunity to undergo a “bootcamp” that would offer physical and mental challenges to them as individuals and a group over a few weeks in the summer.
 
We would like to know what you think and how you feel about certain questions related to community and citizenship and how YOU view issues related individual opportunity, personal freedom and responsibility, and civic involvement.
 
The best way to approach these questions is to watch the brief show on the “The Idea” of What Community Corps is and Why It Matters (< 3 minutes), and then take a few moments to share your views (average time is < 4 minutes). You can click here for the show, or just start the questions below.

If you are of the ages 16 – 24: this is the age of our target participants. So, for every 50 people in this age group who respond, we will offer a $100 gift card or donation to recipient of your choice. We really want to hear from you!
