Rochester AmeriCorps welcomes 25th class of Rochester AmeriCorps members!
Rochester AmeriCorps is proud to be hosting a diverse corps of 34 members
for the 2018-2019 term of service, our 25th year serving the community!
Members will undergo an intensive and engaging seven-day training starting
on Wednesday, September 5th, at the Downtown Campus that will prepare them for
their service term. Members serve a year working with students in the Rochester
City School District Expanded Learning Time schools supporting academic
engagement and social-emotional health and well-being.
Drawing upon a framework of educational equity and social justice members
will provide unique services at their school-sites supporting a range of
activities and initiatives including coordinating and facilitating enrichment
opportunities, providing academic and behavioral supports, tutoring in all
subject areas and all grade levels, engaging in college / career preparation
services, facilitating small groups, working to improve student attendance, and
contributing to positive school climate.
Members build meaningful relationships with students, staff, and community
members throughout their term while gaining valuable career skills and
experiences. As stated by a program alumnus, "The positive impact on my life,
both personally and professionally, is an experience I couldn't have gained
anywhere else. Being a part of the community that is AmeriCorps... made me a
better human being."
We are excited to continue to build upon our partnerships with the city
school district and educational programs and look forward to an amazing year of
growth, collaboration, and student engagement.
Rochester AmeriCorps is sponsored by Monroe Community College.
