Not really.
Wasn't it Clinton who started Americorps? He prouldy proclaimed that he had a hundred thousand (100,000) volunteers for (appx $24,000 per year) & this would help minority ghetto kids. It seems that most of the (paid) volunteers are white college kids who get free income for volunteering to work for free. Ghetto kids get nothing but a white "volunteer".
(Merriam-Webster: (Volunteers of America) : a member of a quasi-military religious and philanthropic organization founded in 1896 by Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth.)
