Greater Miami Service Corps uses service as a strategy to engage young people between the ages of 18-24 in service. The majority of young people (Corpsmembers) come to Corps looking for a second chance to succeed in life. In return for their efforts, Corpsmembers receive guidance by adult leaders who serve as mentors and role models. Corpsmembers receive a modest stipend and a wide range of member development services including significant educational opportunities, career preparation, and the opportunity to invest in their communities.
