<p>I want to take a gap year before I go to college for both financial and personal reasons. I'll probably be working, but I don't want to spend another year at home. </p>
<p>So... I'm thinking of AmeriCorps. If you've participated in AmeriCorps or know someone who has, what is your/their opinion about it? Was it worth it?</p>
<p>Are there any other similar programs that you would recommend?</p>
