"To create positive change in the delta through service."

Louisiana Delta Service Corps partners with non-profits, community and faith based organizations, public schools and government agencies to help build safer, smarter and healthier communities. 

Louisiana Delta Service Corps (LDSC) is an AmeriCorps program and is one of over 400 AmeriCorps National Service programs.  Known as the “Peace Corps of the Delta”,  DSC creates opportunities for AmeriCorps members across the Louisiana Delta region to perform vital services in neighborhoods and communities.  We address education, health, and housing needs.  Up to 45 members are selected to serve individually or in teams at local public or nonprofit organizations.  Members receive a modest living stipend of $11,800 and a $5,350 education award upon completion of the 11 month service year.
