Program/Service Notes:
AmeriCorps is the national service program that provides thousands of Americans of all ages and backgrounds with education awards in exchange for a year or two of community service. AmeriCorps members help meet the nation's critical needs in the areas of public safety, education, human needs, and the environment. Through more than 400 sponsors, AmeriCorps involves 75,000 people in results-driven community service. The work that AmeriCorps members do is as diverse as the sponsors and the individuals that make up AmeriCorps. You can apply to any one of the hundreds of organizations in AmeriCorps' service network--in rural and urban areas across the nation. In any of the programs, you will make a real difference. AmeriCorps members receive a modest living allowance and health coverage while participating in the program. After completing a year of service (at least 1,700 hours), you'll receive an education award of $4,725. This award can be used to help pay off student loans or to finance college, graduate school, or vocational training. Beyond these benefits, you will learn new skills, take on new responsibilities, and know the satisfaction of building a community and helping our nation be everything it ought to be.
