Pros
Very dedicated people Having Campus Compact as an intermediary between the host site and AmeriCorps is very helpful, highly recommend to anyone considering AmeriCorps. Way easier to navigate the AmeriCorps VISTA experience that way Positive environment, plenty of resource sharing
Cons
Living stipend is very low, though that's not Campus Compact's fault. Education award at the end of service is taxed when used. Can be hard to make ends meet with the stipend if the host site doesn't provide housing or transportation stipend. Make sure you have some savings before you do a year of this, or have a second job.
