AmeriCorps, the domestic equivalent of the PeaceCorps, mobilizes almost 75,000 members across the country. Although it is ten times the size of the PeaceCorps, it remains relatively unknown to the country it serves. NYU's Kimberly Cole investigates AmeriCorps' role in solving community problems within the United States.

  • thank goodness there is a 2 year service limit

    they people your helping might get to understand better that they can do it themselves

  • well i got f*cked over with MY reward money. two years of commitment and i get screwed. it's cool to do for your community, but it sucks when they took my well earned and promised money. now i have heaps of student loans that won't get paid. IF YOU WANNA HELP YOUR COMMUNITY BYPASS THIS ORG. AND HELP AS MUCH AS U CAN (BY URSELF) ULL MAKE MORE WITH A PART TIME JOB, TOO.

  • As a former AmeriCorps member, I can say that can appreciate this program. I just WISH their wasn't a 2 year service limit.

  • Yeah.. but the stipend is based on a faulty poverty level that have not been updated since Nixon was president.

    Imagine how much better the program could be with fair stipends for everyone.
