About the Organization:
Dem Corps is a 501(c)4 non-profit social welfare orgnanizartion formed in April of 2006 to help us in serving our communities. We are a group of concerned Democratic activists, progressive community leaders and local business owners who wish to build caring, supportive communities where people feel empowered as citizens, prosper financially and through our service develop a stronger affinity to the Democratic Party. While we recently started here in Maine our message has already begun to spread to other parts of the country.
Mission Statement:
The mission of Dem Corps is to help build caring, supportive communities where Democrats are empowered as citizens, prosper financially, and develop a stronger affinity to the Democratic Party. Dem Corps will encourage, support and recognize citizens for helping their neighbors, volunteering in their communities, helping in emergencies, and actively participating in civic matters.
Dem Corps will also promote non-partisan education on civic responsibility, and specific community betterment programs and services demonstrating a commitment to family, community and prosperity for all. This benefit will be delivered with the message that collective power works.

"The Democratic Party is not just about running campaigns, it is about helping people. Dem Corps has been created to support us all in doing just that - organizing, empowering and recognizing Democrats in building the type of caring communities that have been such a big part of Maine life. I think it is terrific when Democrats in the community take initiative like this!"
