What are the benefits of being an AmeriCorps Member?
AmeriCorps members gain new skills. As an AmeriCorps member, you will join a group of people with many different backgrounds and life experiences, but you will share a common desire to contribute and to improve your community and country. You will learn collaboration, communication, leadership and other life skills. Upon completion of service, you may receive an education award to help pay for college or graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans. While serving, you may receive a modest living allowance, as well as health benefits, training and student loan deferment. Some members are eligible for health care and child care benefits.
