Americorps is a great program. You can be a full or part time volunteer in many different organizations. You sign up for a year and while you are volunteering you get a living stipend, health insurance, and your loans can be deferred. At the end of the year, they give you money for school or to pay back your loans; full time members get nearly five thousand dollars and part time gets about half that.
It’s a great thing to put on your resume, and you can learn a lot. Check out the website.
There is also the Peace Corps, of course, if you are willing to leave the country. They also have a website.
