Working with AmeriCorps during COVID has been an interesting experience, as the entire expectation for service has changed. Overall, the position is challenging but fulfilling and provides many important real-world skills such as communication and interpersonal skills. Working directly with communities was my most important factor looking for a job, and AmeriCorps has allowed me to do that while serving the community and working on many different projects. However, the pay is below cost of living and I've had to pick up another job to cover expenses. Overall, would recommend working as an AmeriCorps member.
I am doing a service term mentoring disadvantaged youth. The work is rewarding, particularly during the pandemic year when many students have been left adrift without good support. Americorps has a lot of clout with colleges and in the workforce, as well as providing training as continuing education. The living stipend is not really enough to live off, so that is the major downside of serving, but I anticipate a large return on my personal investment throughout my life as a result.
Training was not enjoyable, very redundant, and did not properly prepare us for our responsibilities. Leadership ranged from very competent to incompetent, however, they were not malicious at all. Most were pleasant to interact with, even if difficult sometimes. The work location I was assigned to was atrocious. Minimal administrative support, no protection, and an overall unpleasant attitude towards AmeriCorps workers. Some of the staff was great, however.
