Title: What can you tell me about Americorps?
Post by: Svevan on March 18, 2008, 11:29:38 PM
Has anyone here had any experience either as a volunteer with Americorps or an organization that used Americorps volunteers? I have been interested in participating for several months, but I really need more information that the website just doesn't offer.
Thanks.

I did something similar to Americorps, but it was all in the National Parks. It's called SCC, and I found out about it through Americorps. They stationed me in Badlands National Park, where I gave interpretational talks about prairie dog towns, fossils, and geology. You live on the park with all the other rangers and stuff, it was really cool.
Hmm... ok, turns out I actually have nothing to say about Americorps itself, except that I found out about another program through it. That doesn't really answer your question.
Carry on then!

I had a friend who worked for Americorps.
He said what he ended up doing was being cheap construction labor for slum lords. He later quit before he completed the program.

Do Svevan and ShyGuy have the same person in their avatar?
I'm confused...

Someone didn't get the memo. (http://nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=24429.0)

I'm sorry. I rarely go in the Funhouse. I never know what's going on there.
