Barnstable County will welcome the 27th class of AmeriCorps Cape Cod at a Swearing-In Ceremony next week.
There will be a noon ceremony at the Superior Courthouse Green in Barnstable Village on Wednesday followed by a reception and lunch.
The 18 members of this year's class began their service on October 1st and they're being placed with towns and nonprofit partners across Cape Cod to support environmental stewardship, public health, and disaster preparedness projects.
The swearing-in comes as AmeriCorps programs nationwide received renewed federal support with the release of 184-million-dollars in previously withheld funding.
