Okay, wise and mighty FList, does anyone know about AmeriCorps? There is a job I would like through them. Anyone served? Is this a bad idea? I know nothing about them at all.
ROFL! No no, they're a legit civil service :) And unlike CityYear and several other programs, it's not structured as if you're still a teenager or needing "life help" or anything like that. You are considered a professional adult college grad who is offering a year or 2 of service to your country.
I would love to see programs like AmeriCorps seriously expanded. I would not fight in a war (unless it were a much better war than currently *eyeroll*) but I would have really been committed to a different way to offer service in my 20s.
It seems like a pretty good programme. What threw me was that there seemed to be some kind of living on campus thing and I am leery of things that want a year commitment (too much like the Army).
