I’m a junior in high school also. I work for City Year, which is an affiliate of AmeriCorps, and find it to be a huge waste of time. If I took a gap year specifically to work for them, I would probably go insane. But maybe other people find it more fun to do. My experience has been that its not organized very well and they mismanage time, especially considering what they have to work with in terms of funds and volunteers. This might not apply to other AmeriCorps things or even other City Year organizations, but thats my two cents.
