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?”
Americorp Vista is exactly the thing I’m referring to actually! Not entirely sure what it means, but it was on the job application
“Volunteers In Service To America” so officially you’re paid by the govt to volunteer at the place you’ll be working
Aight, if I can help people get housing that’d be sick, im stoked to see where this goes, thanks for spelling that out!
