Events & Calendars Is An AmeriCorps Fellowship Right for Me?

AmeriCorps is a national network of hundreds of programs across the nation offering a variety of service opportunities, from the classroom to the outdoors and everything in between.
Under the “AmeriCorps” umbrella, two programs are managed nationally: AmeriCorps VISTA and AmeriCorps NCCC. The other program, under the general heading of AmeriCorps State & National, also referred to simply as AmeriCorps, funds local and national organizations throughout the United States to recruit AmeriCorps members.
No matter what you’re passionate about, where you’re from, or why you choose to serve, AmeriCorps gives recent graduates a chance to be part of the greater good. But with so many different programs and opportunities available, how does a student decipher and decide between them? And how, ultimately, do you decide if an AmeriCorps fellowship is the right post-graduate opportunity for you?
In this information session, Caroline Palmer, Service Quality Specialist with the DIAL/SELF AmeriCorps Program (based in Greenfield, Mass.), will explain what participants can expect from AmeriCorps programs, provide advice on navigating the application process, and generally help attendees evaluate their options.
