Wanting to give some information for anyone who might be considering working with AmeriCorp. On their website, they have the deadlines for both of their work sessions (Summer and I believe Winter). If I am correct, the deadline for the Summer start date (early August) was around March 30th.
If you are even considering joining AmeriCorps, make sure to look into the different programs and get an application in asap. Once you have one "resume/application" online with two good references, you can use the same form to apply to different positions without needing to re-fill out the other applications. I would recommend filling them out early, as well as checking out other blogs on AmeriCorps programs. While this is one, I am in AmeriCorp's FEMA Corp program and having more opinions can only be beneficial. After you fill out the applications, there will be a waiting period but do check on the submissions screen and check on the status of your applications. Once you see that the application/s are completed, there will be a wait as the applications are being processed. Submitting applications in March, plan to hear back first some time in May (which is when I heard back), but don't feel like you are out just because it has been a month since you have heard anything back.
As always, feel free to comment below, and I will go into the next processes in applying in the next post. Stay tuned.
