AmeriCorps

AmeriCorps is a civil society program supported by the U.S. federal government, foundations, corporations, and other donors engaging adults in intensive community service work with the goal of "helping others and meeting critical needs in the community".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 What Is AmeriCorps? )〕 Members commit to full-time or part-time positions offered by a network of nonprofit community organizations and public agencies, to fulfill assignments in the fields of education, public safety, health care, and environmental protection. The program is often compared to the Peace Corps as its domestic counterpart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Frequently Asked Questions for Individuals )
AmeriCorps is an initiative of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), which also oversees the Senior Corps and the formerly-funded Learn and Serve America. It was created under President Bill Clinton by the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/National_and_Community_Service_Trust_Act_of_1993 )〕 incorporating VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) and the National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 History, Legislation, and Budget )〕 A third division, AmeriCorps State and National, provides grants to hundreds of local community organizations throughout the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 AmeriCorps State and National )
The program first became operational in 1994 and has expanded over time,〔 with over 80,000 members participating annually as of 2012. Members may be provided modest financial compensation in the form of cost-of-living allowances, student loan deferment, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, and the Americorps Education Award. Less tangible benefits include professional skill development and work experience.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Benefits of AmeriCorps Service )〕 An internal study found that participation in AmeriCorps strengthened civic attitudes and behaviors, and made members more likely to choose careers in public service.
