AmeriCorps and AmeriCorps*VISTA are federally funded domestic Peace Corps programs that provide individuals of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to address some of the most pressing problems facing our country today. In return for providing a year of service, AmeriCorps and VISTA Members receive a monthly living allowance, training opportunities, and an educational award to help finance college education or vocational training — or pay back student loans.
