Americorps will provide a wide range of "volunteering" opportunities that include teaching but extend further out to all aspects of the communities around us. Again, I have known people that have committed a summer of their (in lieu of an internship, looks great on the resume) and people that have graduated from college and given 2 years of their time. Again you will be paid with a modest living wage, helped with student loans if you are graduating, and you will gain many intangible benefits that will serve you in whatever job you choose to do afterwards. There are opportunities all across the country, but I would imagine their is still a great need in the gulf coast region cleaning up from Katrina. Just another option for those considering a position with a solid organization doing something out of the ordinary before moving on in life.
