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.
