Pros

The Segal Award is the main reason to take this job.

Cons

The pay isn’t enough to live on, they could place you anywhere in Chicago with a weeks notice before the year starts.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your contribution to students and educational equity through your service year at Saga. AmeriCorps programs do not pay a wage or salary to members. Completing a service year with Saga is compensated through a modest AmeriCorps living allowance or stipend throughout the designated service term. We strive to continue to educate our AmeriCorps members on the differences between a year of service and a full time job.
