(KAIR)--A Muscotah man will spend the next 10 months performing national service as part of the Atlantic Region's National Civilian Community Corps.

According to a press release from AmeriCorps, Kenneth Lowe will be one of 126 men and women participating in the NCCC's 23rd class as part of an AmeriCorps program.

In the release, Lowe says, “I grew up helping in my community. “I was a member of my church's youth group and we took yearly mission trips to other places that needed help within their communities. This taught me to want to help in any community, both at home and wherever it was needed.”

Lowe will spend the next 10 months working with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, National Parks Service and others focusing on infrastructure improvement, urban and rural development, energy conservation, disaster response and recovery efforts and environmental work.

Upon completion of his 10-month service time, he will graduate from NCCC in November 201 with an education award of just under $6,000 to continue education or pay back student loans.
