In the FWIW category, my sweetie was in AmeriCorps (this was 10 years ago, so things may have changed or may be regionally different) and it was a great experience for him. He really branched out his sense of who he was, what kind of work he could do and how much he could take on. And he was a bit older, so it wasn't a dewey eyed "oh the big wide world!" reaction :P
He's got great stuff on his resume from that 2 years and considers it to have been very valuable (and well worth the starvation wages ;P)
