THE CORPS NETWORK DEFINES A CORPS AS A COMPREHENSIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT AND SERVICE PROGRAM THAT ENGAGES YOUNG PEOPLE IN SERVICE TO THEIR COMMUNITY WHILE IMPROVING THEIR OWN LIVES.

(E) HAVE A GOAL OF PROVIDING SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITIES SERVE AS A CENTRAL ELEMENT OF THEIR MISSIONS. CORPS MUST HAVE ALL FIVE OF THE ABOVE ELEMENTS TO BE MEMBERS OF TCN AT THE SERVICE AND CONSERVATION CORPS LEVEL.
