As Vice-President of NASCC, Mr. Moore oversees and coordinates youth corps
contacts and relationships with the Executive Branch and Congress, as well
as a host of national and regional non-profit organizations. He spearheaded
NASCC's Corps Restore Initiative, through which 200 youth corps staff
members received training in stream restoration as well as urban and
community forestry to increase youth corps crews' usefulness to natural
resource managers. He also helps manage the Corps-to-Career Initiative
(principal funders: Wallace-Reader's Digest Funds, CS Mott Foundation,
William Randolph Hearst Foundation, ) through which the corps are increasing
their ability to move graduating corps members into living wage jobs and
further education. Mr. Moore has been directly involved in urban parks
advocacy in his adopted home city of Philadelphia.
After working as a research assistant to Ralph Nader for The Big Boys
(Pantheon Press, 1986), as a freelance writer, and an environmental
educator, Mr. Moore joined the staff of NASCC. In his early years at NASCC,
he helped launch youth corps in several states and successfully advocated
for the passage of national service legislation.
The British Council selected Mr. Moore to serve as one of eight Atlantic
Fellows in Public Policy from September 2000 through June 2001. Hosted by
BTCV (formerly British Trust for Conservation Volunteers) while in the UK,
he is comparing and contrasting British and US approaches to employment and
training and welfare-to-work in the conservation field.
