A Second Year?

Lately, I have been seriously considering the possibility of a second year in the AmeriCorps. I love the program and truly feel I am having an impact in my community. I love the AmeriCorps members I have met along the way. I love being in a community of people committed to service.

If I am going to do a second year of AmeriCorps, I should do it when I am the most passionate and when I have few obligations. The small stipend hasn't been too much of a burden; I've managed fairly well.

However, if I took on a second year, I would want it to challenge me in new ways. Therefore, I would probably consider a position at a different site. We'll see how things turn out.
