Americorps state and national at 17?

I have a high school diploma and only a small amount of college completed. I've read that the state and national program allows you to join at 17. Is it easy to get into, or will they be looking for more in an applicant? I have no work experience and only a small amount of volunteer work.

Thanks for your time.=) Any other ideas about Americorps or volunteering are welcome.

Very detailed information that discusses your many, many options - the usual and many activities you probably never thought of. Includes instructions on how to find specific volunteering opportunities (with animals, with children, just for one day, etc.).
