About the AmeriCorps Student Success Program

The AmeriCorps Student Success Program partners with schools statewide to help provide more individual support for students so that they can be successful in school and in life. AmeriCorps members work one-on-one with a specific caseload of students to help them strengthen reading skills, increase attendance, improve GPA, and progress towards high school graduation. Students and families may also receive assistance overcoming barriers to education by connecting them to community resources to meet basic needs. 

With this consistent and meaningful support, students gain the ability to set personal goals, be accountable for personal learning and growth, establish good study skills, develop more enthusiasm for learning, develop a positive growth mindset, and increase their self-confidence. 

We need you to help provide this meaningful support to students!
