*About AmeriCorps

AmeriCorps state and national programs provide thousands of Americans each year the opportunity to improve the lives of their fellow citizens through service.

Moreover, members are not allowed to perform an employee's duties or otherwise displace employees, and therefore generally not eligible to receive unemployment compensation.
