Who says AmeriCorps service is just a phase in your life? Or that members can't serve themselves while serving the community? As an AmeriCorps member, you have a great opportunity to take your next step—career, education, or continued service.

Service and Your Career

For many, AmeriCorps service is the first step in a rewarding career in public service. Helping to address critical community needs can be inspiring—and the needs never go away. Putting your idealism, energy, and experience to work in a career that helps others can be the perfect way to incorporate your service into the rest of your life.

Service and Your Education

One of the best rewards for your dedication to service is your AmeriCorps Education Award. You can use your AmeriCorps Education Award to pay education costs at qualified institutions of higher education, for educational training, or to repay qualified student loans. And that gives you an opportunity to learn a whole new set of skills, or build on the skills and knowledge you gained as an AmeriCorps member.

Service and Your Community

Public service doesn’t have to end once you’ve completed your term at AmeriCorps. Continue to stay engaged in your community.

  • Volunteer with a local project: Serve.gov
  • Attend community meetings
  • Share your opinions with your local newspaper
  • Become involved with your neighborhood school
  • Consider a career in public service
  • Join AmeriCorps Alums

Your time in AmeriCorps was just one step in your commitment to public service. Let that commitment continue to influence the choices you make in life.
