AmeriCorps Promise Fellow
AmeriCorps Promise Fellows serve as caring adults who support, mentor, and build positive relationships with young people in 6-12th grade on their path to high school graduation. Fellows provide one-on-one and small group support to students in a school or non-profit organization. Fellows receive training in student-mentor relationship-building skills and goal-setting techniques. Fellows receive
support and training throughout the year and are encouraged to explore their own goals and have the opportunity to be paired with a Life Coach. 20% of AmeriCorps Promise Fellows return for a second year of service.
