Groups can apply for volunteers by filling out the application on the SALT website, saltdevelopment.org.
The deadline to submit applications is Thursday, January 12.
NCCCs can help:

With enough projects, SALT will host a six to eight week NCCC round in March and April to help with projects around Schoharie County.
AmeriCorps NCCC (National Civilian Community Corps) strengthens communities and develops leaders through direct, team-based, national and community service.
In partnership with non-profits - secular and faith based - local municipalities, state governments, federal governments, national and state parks, Indian tribes and schools, members complete service projects throughout the region to which they are assigned.
Currently, SALT is asking other community organizations and county agencies for community development projects that need volunteer assistance March 8 - April 21.
