AMC Rochester AmeriCorps

AMC Rochester AmeriCorps

Rochester AmeriCorps is currently recruiting members who are passionate about providing direct service to youth in and around Rochester, NY. Members will begin service in mid September 2024 and serve on a full time basis through mid August 2025. Our program is focused on improving educational outcomes of students in low-achieving schools as well as students' preparation for, and prospects of success in, post-secondary education. Serving in community-based organizations, members will provide coaching and college preparation services, academic tutoring and enrichment activities, coordinating community events, and conducting outreach within the community. Our program, sponsored by Monroe Community College, is located at the Downtown Campus in Rochester. Before and during their initial orientation and training, members have a chance to learn more about the service placements available to them. They also participate in activities designed to help them identify their skills, interests, and preferences so that these qualities can be matched to a placement. 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." For more details please visit www.rochesteramericorps.org. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
