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.

  • Meet monthly with the Project Manager to discuss goals, construction projects, professional development, and any other issues
  • Participate in September 11th Day of Remembrance and Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service events, which may take place on a weekend or during holidays and include activities outside of the scope of typical day-to-day functions.
