Mikenzie Rost and Jackson Owens, with community volunteers. On Friday, October 23rd, the AmeriCorps Disaster Response Team supported a large-scale volunteer event in Chalan Kanoa in coordination with United for Saipan and the LTRG (CARE). The AmeriCorps Disaster Response Team members trained and led 25 volunteers in canvassing the Chalan Kanoa neighborhood with two goals in mind: to bring to light the community's unmet needs, and to determine work sites for the Saturday and Sunday volunteer events. Over Saturday & Sunday, volunteers went through the neighborhood to gather debris for removal, collected information from additional clients about their unmet needs, and received training on client intakes for unmet needs. In total at this event, 77 client intakes were completed, 140 cubic yards of tin & vegetative debris were removed, and a total of 391 volunteer hours were logged by 117 volunteers supporting the Cleanup events over Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
