Anyone up for an adventure next year? Especially Americans?

I'm trying to help out a friend who recently finished this Project SERVE program...they need people for this year, starting in a month. I think you might have to be an American citizen to get some of the benefits, but it's worth looking into!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you know (or are you) a recent college graduate that doesn't currently have plans and might be interested in volunteering for a year in Baltimore, the most under-rated city in America? I highly reccommend the program, and the basic components are this:

-an 11-month commitment to serving in a Catholic Charities organization in or near Baltimore City (placements available based on interest in working with children, the homeless - either in a shelter or soup kitchen, women, minorities, the elderly, etc.)
-living in community in a house with other volunteers
-in exchange for service you receive an Americorps education award of $4,750 after completion of service, a monthly stipend to cover food and transportation and other living expenses, free housing including utilities and health care coverage paid for by Catholic Charities

It's a sweet program, so if you know anyone interested, please do suggest it to them for me, or contact Abby Maloney mailto:amaloney@cc-md.orgdirectly!
