We are working to address the lack of equitable access to educational opportunities. Our �鶹��Ƶ Columbia AmeriCorps members partner with teachers and schools to add more support and to help create learning environments where all students can build on their strengths and fully engage in their learning.

Accelerating academic growth in Columbia

Research shows that even academically prepared students are at risk of falling off track. �鶹��Ƶ supported students, ensuring that:

• 82% of students stayed on track in English Language Arts with a C or higher
• 95% of students stayed on track in mathematics with a C or higher

Advancing interpersonal and workforce readiness skills

Partnering with teachers and principals

• 86% of partner teachers agree that AmeriCorps members fostered a positive learning environment for learning
• �鶹��Ƶ AmeriCorps Members, according to one partner teacher, “are an extra pair of hands, eyes and heart to help those who struggle. I have a few students who come to school with issues from home. Just the walk from the cafeteria with a �鶹��Ƶ makes a huge difference in their day. They feel loved, safe and able to deal with the day.”
