Ready to make a difference?

Help Oklahoma recover from natural disasters by serving on our AmeriCorps team! SBP, a social impact organization focused on disaster resilience and recovery, is hiring an AmeriCorps Project Lead to serve with Recovering Oklahomans After Disaster (ROAD) . ROAD was established in 2018 to support disaster survivors who have little to no means of recovery on their own by providing free home repairs all across Oklahoma. The member will be an integral part of ROAD, helping bring families home to safe, sanitary, and secure housing. The bulk of the member service will be conducted in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but members should be prepared to travel within an hour of Tulsa for service. If overnight travel is required, ROAD will provide overnight lodging and mileage reimbursement.
