NYC 'Civic Corps' gets a start with 193 members

Nearly 200 federally funded volunteer coordinators will soon start work recruiting people to help dozens of New York City community service organizations.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg helped swear in the 193 members of the NYC Civic Corps' first class Thursday. He was joined by Nicola Goren, the acting CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service.

The corporation is the federal agency that runs AmeriCorps VISTA, which is providing the NYC Civic Corps members. They'll work full-time for a modest living allowance, health benefits and education grants.

They'll help 57 nonprofit groups find more volunteers and deploy them strategically.
