This is not nearly as exciting as being in the Peace Corps in an exotic country, but I am an AmeriCorps member in Texas. We also don't make much money, just a "living stipend" of $1036 a month (before taxes, after is only $805) and a $4500 educational award at the end of the 12 month contract. AmeriCorps is a good way to provide service to your community while not going too far or having to commit to two years. I decided to go into AmeriCorps because I have travelled all my life and really like this area of Texas. There happened to be an AmeriCorps position open in the agency I did my social work internship with this summer so I took it! Also, I am planning on going back to grad school in a year and wanted social work experience. Although I have to admit it, I am kind of jealous of you guys living in countries like Madagascar, Nicaragua, and Cambodia! epilepticMinnie fucked around with this message at 06:00 on Oct 19, 2009 |
