Â鶹ÊÓƵ Jacksonville
A big city with a small-town vibe and Southern charm, Jacksonville is a friendly and welcoming city that embraces change and newcomers. Together, we work alongside teachers, principals and community partners to support students in our public schools.
We are working to expand educational opportunities and advance academic outcomes here in Duval County. Our Â鶹ÊÓƵ Jacksonville AmeriCorps members partner with teachers and schools to add more support for students throughout the school day and to help create learning environments where all students can build on their strengths and fully engage in their learning.
