These badges are given to organizations with “a research-aligned program design” whose methods meet “fundamental tutoring quality standards" set by the organization.

With more than 2,000 tutors on the ground at over 1,900 sites, Reading Corps, Math Corps, and Early Learning Corps are the largest high-impact tutoring programs in the country! As our 20th school year winds down, we want to thank you for being a part of this incredible work. Together, we’ve supported 65,000 students this academic year alone! That’s enough students to fill Chicago's Soldier Field stadium! With your continued support, we’re ready to reach even more students in 2024-25.

We're a week away from launching the 2024 cohort of Summer Impact Corps! Last year, Debra used her service with Summer Impact Corps to gain experience working with young students as she prepared to become a speech-language pathology assistant. But even before that chapter of her professional life, she's been a lifelong learner with a fascinating history. Check out her story at the link below. https://lnkd.in/gBbbhqgB

We're almost ready to kick off a season of change with Summer Impact Corps! In 2023, we completed our first ever term of Summer Impact Corps! AmeriCorps members signed up to serve Minnesota communities in a variety of positions across the state. This year, the program has hired over 300 people to join us again and make an impact. Last year, at Spark-Y Youth Action Labs, Isabelle and Walter coordinated STEM-related activities for middle school students in Minneapolis. Check out their story! https://lnkd.in/gW5RXG-r

Thanks to FOX 9 for highlighting Summer Impact Corps and opportunities to serve! Chue, program director of Summer Impact Corps, stopped by the station to chat about the program last weekend. As part of the program, AmeriCorps members will spend the summer building their skills, experiencing community in new ways, and getting things done for Minnesota. No experience is needed, and members earn $6,600 plus an extra $1,459 for tuition or student loans. Interested candidates should apply by May 8 to begin serving in June 2024. Apply now at Ampact.US/Summer. Check out the FOX 9 story: https://lnkd.in/ghq6tmnt

As we celebrate AmeriCorps Week and 30 years of AmeriCorps members getting things done, it’s the perfect time for a throwback Thursday featuring some of our staff reflecting on their time as AmeriCorps members. Staff, thank you for your service, whenever it was, and thank you for your continued work towards uplifting national service! #TBT #AmeriCorpsWeek #AmeriCorpsAlums

Chief Advancement Officer Lindsay Dolce had the opportunity to talk about our proven tutoring programs – Reading Corps, Math Corps and Early Learning Corps – and what sets them apart in the latest "Rick Hess Straight Up" at Education Week. "First, it’s all about data. 'Data-based' is a buzzword now, but we have spent 20 years monitoring and adapting our programs to best meet students’ and educators’ needs."
