Together with our partners, Tinker’s Creek Watershed Partners recognizes the importance of maintaining water quality throughout Northern Ohio. We also believe in educating the public and regional leaders to support behavioral changes that positively affect our water resources. The Northern Ohio Watershed Corps (NOWCorps) works with watershed groups, soil and water conservation districts, city and county government offices, and other conservation nonprofits to facilitate outreach, education, capacity building, environmental stewardship, and stormwater management. NOWCorps is a program of ServeOhio, Ohio’s Commission on Service and Volunteerism, and AmeriCorps, the federal agency for volunteering, service, and civic engagement. NOWCorps members receive programmatic training, site-specific training, and have access to an individual training stipend which allows members to participate in training opportunities unique to their interests and needs.

NOWCorps and AmeriCorps are committed to advancing equity, civil rights, racial justice, and equal opportunity. In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, AmeriCorps, and any organization that receives federal financial assistance from AmeriCorps, prohibits all forms of discrimination and harassment based on the protected categories of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, disability (mental or physical), gender identity or expression, political affiliation, marital or parental status, pregnancy, genetic information (including family medical history), military service, or their submission of a complaint. It is also unlawful to retaliate against any person who, or organization that, files a complaint about such discrimination.
