IDK shit about AmeriCorps. Anyone got the lowdown on them?
The actual org I’d be working with is an anti-homelessness org in my city. The pay is super low and they were transparent in saying “yeah a lot of the people that work with us have other jobs” but after 2 years of hardly any income, and a chance at a job where I’d actually be helping people, I’d take it in a second.
Guess what I’m looking for here, is “is there anything shitty about AmeriCorps I should know if they offer me a job?”
I used to volunteer to help teach kids to read in a summer daycare program led by AmeriCorps. Everyone was super cool and really wanted to do good.
More of a bandaid for a gunshot wound kind of government aid, but that’s not to say they don’t do some actual good.
Cool! Overall it sounds like about what I expected from the org, I was curious if they had some hideous shit under their belt that isnt super public. Im pretty psyched for the job and hope they offer it to me!
