AmeriCorps 

U.S. domestic peace corps, paid in stipend by a congressional act signed in the early Clinton years. Major function is training, community policing, health education, and community service leaders. Would potentially satisfy national service requirements for conscientious objectors in case a military draft were to be instituted, much like the Civilian Conservation Corps of old.
After college I joined AmeriCorps, which paid off all my college loans after 10 months of service.

AmeriCorpse 

Thinking you're going to get great job experience between your BA and Masters by joining AmeriCorps, but finding out you've been used for mindless data entry by non-profits (due to cheapness of hiring ameriCorps members)...leading to a slow painful death of boredom and misery. Or zombie-like appearance due to the death of idealism.

Noun: AmeriCorpse
Verb: AmeriCorpsed
Man, I thought I'd get experience with grant-writing but I've been doing menial data-entry!

Dude, you just got AmeriCorpsed!

Terry: Wow, did you see that exchange student tear up while Obama talked about the whispers of the dead soldiers in Arlington?
