I am currently involved Americorp(Began Sept 05) through Notre Dame Mission Volunteers and I love it. The national office for this program is located in Baltimore and I was lucky enough to placed at a Baltimore site but many of the volunteers are from different states and one is from Kenya. The volunteers are placed in different locations in US and Africa. The majority of the Americorp volunteers I work with graduated from college this year(2005) and others are older. I graduated from college in 04 and I using my educational stipend to pay for grad school in 2006.
-I love my Americorp sweatshirt, We get free gear everytime we have a meeting. Ditto to what DolphinChicaDDD, research as much as possible. Here is the site for my program:
