About Joining AmeriCorps: A Guide For Young Adults

Would you like to spend a year doing meaningful service strengthening communities, educating children, or protecting the environment? Would you like to be paid while doing this year of service? And at the end of the year, would you like to earn money to support your future education or pay back student loans? If so, then AmeriCorps may be for you! AmeriCorps is a nationwide network of organizations offering full-time, meaningful year of service opportunities for young adults (and others) in the United States. AmeriCorps members earn a living stipend during their year of service. At the end of their service, they also receive a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award, which is money that can be used towards future education expenses or to pay back student loans. If you are interested in learning more about AmeriCorps, either for yourself or for a young adult in your life, then this book is for you! Joining AmeriCorps is a comprehensive guide helping readers answer the following questions: What is AmeriCorps? Should I join AmeriCorps? How do I join AmeriCorps? How do I make the most of my AmeriCorps experience? How do I prepare for life after AmeriCorps? Tracking the personal journeys of four diverse AmeriCorps members, this book presents information in an accessible way that is relatable to readers from different walks of life. Hands-on activities are included to help the reader engage more personally with the material. Whether or not you (or the young adult in your life) ultimately decide to join AmeriCorps, we are confident that this book will provide valuable information and space for reflection as you take the next step in your journey!
