The gateway city of Florida
|
Jacksonville is the largest city by land mass in the continental US with several Fortune 500 companies and a very young work force. A small town vibe in a big city, Jacksonville has everything from hip, urban areas to beaches. Jacksonville has a growing arts scene with museums including the MOSH, the Cummer, and MOCA. |

Average rental cost for AmeriCorps members living with roommates is $300-$500/month. AmeriCorps members typically live in large, historic homes in Springfield, Murray Hill, and Riverside. |
|
Jacksonville is extremely spread out. AmeriCorps members with cars are highly encouraged to bring them. Otherwise, many AmeriCorps members carpool with teammates. |
