[quote=Anonymous]I was friends with a large number of recent grads in AmeriCorps when I was in my 20s. This was around 2013/2014. Yes, it was as described above - the pay is very, very low, and they were all encouraged to sign up for food stamps and did so. None of the people I knew had family support, though they came from families had a range of social-economic situations, they were all living independently at this time. As I understood it, this was a feature, not a bug of the program. The idea is that these young adults are living in similarly tight situations as the people they're helping. They're supposed to be part of the community, scrimping by. But bigger picture: Your kid is an adult. They'll figure it out. Let them be. [/quote]
