RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at AmeriCorps full-time for more than a year
Pros
Gain experience in your chosen field.
Cons
You're working a full-time job for less than min. wage. AmeriCorps is kidding itself when it says it's alleviating poverty. Non-accessible to many folks from low-income backgrounds because the pay is so little.
Pros
AmeriCorps VISTA positions are a great way to get your foot into the door of entry level positions in the nonprofit sector.
Cons
None that I can think of!
Pros
Great leader and team experience
Cons
Experience depends on TL only
