Stipend

Making the commitment to serve a year with 51·çÁ÷ is about more than the monetary benefit. It’s about making an impact on students, on communities, on the educational landscape in our country. It’s about forging lasting relationships and gaining valuable experience. Yet, we know it is challenging to live on the stipend, and we’re committed to ensuring that our stipends provide a realistic opportunity for a meaningful year of service.

Stipends vary by service location. Members serving a 1700-hour annual term will receive a stipend within the following range: ~$22,100 – $28,100 per service term

Segal Education Award

As a member of the federal AmeriCorps program, you are eligible to earn the Segal Education Award at the completion of a service term, which can go toward pursuing further education, to pay off existing, qualified student loans or educational travel. This award varies for 1700, 1200-hour, and 900-hour roles. This award may also be transferred to a child, stepchild, grandchild, step-grandchild, or foster child if you are 55 years or older at the start of your service.

For members serving 1700 hours in a California region (San Francisco Bay Area, Silicon Valley, or Los Angeles), you may qualify for the California for All award, which would supplement your Segal Education Award, bringing the total amount to $10,000.
