Begun in 1994, the AmeriCorps programs provide opportunities for Americans to make an intensive commitment to service. The AmeriCorps network of local, state, and national service programs engages more than 70,000 Americans in intensive service each year.

AmeriCorps members serve through more than 3,000 nonprofits, public agencies,and faith-based and other community organizations, helping meet critical needs in education, public safety, health and the environment. The variety of service opportunities is almost unlimited. Members may tutor and mentor youth, build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, run after-school programs, or help communities respond to disasters.

List of non-military options compiled by Code Pink and Granny Peace Brigade in New York.

The Peaceful Career Alternatives website has been developed with the support of multiple national, regional, and local peace and religious organizations to provide young people deciding how to begin their productive working lives with alternative ideas and options without entering military service.

We encourage school counselors, parents, teachers, and most of all our youth, to utilize this resource before recommending or deciding on a military career and to network this resource to those considering enlistment.

Based on a literature review and analysis of the Department of Labor’s Welfare to Work Project, this guide emphasizes lessons from the Job and Conservation Corps but are applicable to many programs serving low-income or disenfranchised youth. The guide also features a “how-to” section to help agency staff translate promising practices to their own programs. Cambridge, MA: Abt Associates, Inc, 2003.
