Joining AmeriCorps: A Guide for Young Adults Considering a Year of Service

Through their work in higher education and nonprofit organizations, Matthew Hudson-Flege and Janna Pennington have had countless conversations with young adults who are interested in joining AmeriCorps. In this book, they answer some of the questions that young people frequently have when considering a year of service:

  • What is AmeriCorps?

  • Should I join AmeriCorps?

  • How Do I Join AmeriCorps?

  • How Do I Make the Most of My AmeriCorps Experience?

  • How Do I Prepare for Life After AmeriCorps?

While specifically targeted at individuals who are considering a year of service, the book is also a great resource for AmeriCorps program leaders and higher education and high school professionals who work with service-minded students.
