Propuesta CHIPE -AMERICORPS

community. Members commit to full- or part-time positions

offered by a network of nonprofit community organizations and public agencies, to fulfill assignments in the fields of education, public safety, health care, and environmental protection.

The program is often compared to the Peace Corps as its domestic counterpart.
