During the Clinton administration, AmeriCorps brought together nearly 200,000 people of all ages, racial, ethnic and economic backgrounds to solve community problems and improve the lives of Americans. After a year of full-time public service, AmeriCorps members received education awards to help finance college or pay back student loans.
