If you take a gap year as an AmeriCorps member, you can put your values into action to make a difference. Join more than 2,500 members who use their compassion, determination, and creativity to help strengthen communities in Minnesota.
We have a variety of programs. Most applications open in the spring, others in fall or winter. Some members join again because they enjoy their experience so much! If you’re not sure about serving a full year, we have some summer programs as well.
There are both part-time and full-time member opportunities all over Minnesota. Perks can include a stipend, an education award you can use for college later in life or to pay off a student loan, health benefits, and more.
