We're now accepting applications for the 2024-2025 school year. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ AmeriCorps members play a critical role in helping students connect with their school community, engage in their learning and recover from learning loss.

About Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ

Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, an AmeriCorps program, helps students across schools succeed. Diverse teams of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ AmeriCorps members provide support, helping to ensure that students in systematically under-resourced schools receive a high-quality education that prepares them with the skills and mindset to thrive and contribute to their community.
