AmeriCorps Opportunities
Some Benefits You Feel, Other Benefits are Real. Perhaps the first and biggest benefit people get from
volunteering is the satisfaction of incorporating service into their lives and making a difference in their
community and country. The intangible benefits alone—such as pride, satisfaction and accomplishment—
are worthwhile reasons to serve.
AmeriCorps programs do more than move communities forward; they serve their members by creating
jobs and providing pathways to opportunity for young people entering the workforce. AmeriCorps places
thousands of young adults into intensive service positions where they learn valuable work skills, earn
money for education, and develop an appreciation for citizenship.
