Here are Ben’s top 10 most memorable service projects so far this year. As you’ll see, he’s enjoyed a wide array of projects that touch upon our four focus areas. There are a variety of ways to plan, facilitate, and participate in these types of projects and more as an AmeriCorps Cape Cod member.

  1. Mashpee Shellfish Propagation — collecting, measuring and broadcasting.
  2. Wellfleet Herring Run Invasive species removal. That Asian knotweed was tough, but no match!
