The folks I know who have done AmeriCorps have really loved the experience. In more recent years though, you have less control over where you go. It used to be that they have a list of places that need your skills, and you pick. Now they just send you. If you are okay with that kind of unknowing.
Teach for America can be done by it's own right. Again, you have limited ability to request where you go, but people I know who have done it, have loved it. I have seriously considered applying with them when I graduate in May.
