AmeriCorps Employees Placed on Leave After DOGE Visit

Legal Insurrection: 2017 AmeriCorps Inspector General’s report found that the services volunteers provided were “four to eight times more than the same services” provided by other programs between 2012 and 2013.

“Each member’s ten months of service costs $29,674 (for FY 2014), more than a year’s tuition, room and board at a public university; for that sum, four individuals could obtain two-year community college degrees,” the report stated.

“Yet, despite this substantial investment, NCCC alumni achieve no better long-term outcomes than alumni of AmeriCorps programs that cost a fraction of that amount.”

That was due to several duplicative activities performed by grant recipients who worked in other AmeriCorps programs — all of which “cost significantly less per member.”

This isn’t good: “Up to 27% of NCCC program participants also failed to finish their 10-month service term — and ‘inefficient’ use of some teams in deploying to disaster relief areas was noted.” more

  1. I thought I can read. First of all, what is NCCC?

    “the services volunteers provided were “four to eight times more than the same services” provided by other programs”

    Did they provide more services, or did it COST 4 to 8 times more. And compared to what exactly?

    Has anyone ever heard of proofreading?

    Ya make my head hurt!
