Service Expectations and Comparison

Learn about members' service year expectations with this group activity

Observe member interaction and team-work skills during this meaningful group activity. During the activity, members divide into groups to answer and discuss questions such as:

  • What do you hope to learn?
  • What skills do you hope to acquire?
  • How will your service year be different from a job?

Use this activity during either AmeriCorps or VISTA orientations.

This activity was contributed by PCC's AmeriCorps (Oak Park, IL), an AmeriCorps*State program that provides intensive outreach and health education to individuals and families at high-risk for poor health and social outcomes.
