Learning Links AmeriCorps

The Learning Links AmeriCorps Program engages four full-time and two part-time AmeriCorps Volunteers ensuring collaborative partnerships and continuity of services for children across three key aspects of a child’s day: at school, after school, and in their communities.

Toward this end, one Corps member serves at each of the four schools where Learning ROCKS! students are enrolled: Campbell, Carlin Springs, Claremont, and Randolph elementary schools. Coprs Members also design and facilitate family-centered activities at Columbia Grove Apartments one Saturday each month.

By serving in three distinct sites where children spend their lives (school, afterschool, home/community), members will serve a unique function that cannot be met by staff.
