| my friend and co-worker tori wrote this amazing blurb on life in americorps... it is so incredibly accurate that i had to share... this is basically my life:
When you work for Americorps this is what you do when you're "getting things done"..... Use your food stamps to buy local organic food! Budget the itsy bitsy tiny amount of money they give you a month so that occasionaly you can go out, buy a beer, and play some pool. You can take pride in the fact that your purpose of work is to better the Nation that we live in; America. You do your best to do your job with little to no supervision, and then pray for the best. You get paid pennies, but make connections with people that can put you up in their sweet ass pad while you're on a road trip. You get hours to do things like go snowshoeing, kill invasive plants, teach kids about the environment, check your email, paint backdrops on butcher paper, drive to rural counties and work with their communities, check your email again, research your environment and surrounding wildlife, have monthly meetings with other Americorps people, take field trips to sites that need major restoration, go into classrooms and do educational activities with kids, work in an office that is small but has cool posters and maps on the walls, drink endless amounts of coffee and tea at mandatory trainings/ meetings, take kids on field trips to wilderness areas, go out after work with other Americorps members to try and find hot springs, or go mountain biking, or happy houring, you even get to make your own buisness card when you're in Americorps. But my favorite thing to do when I'm in Americorps, is to "GET THINGS DONE!"
the "get things done" is a reference to the pledge we took which states that as an americorps volunteer, we will "get things done for America." yeah. i should scan it and post it here. i think it would go over really well. | | |
