Ameri Corps is a national organization modeled after the Peace Corps that involves opportunities for American citizens to contribute to the betterment of their community through working in schools and with non-profit organizations. The Ameri Corps Student Success Program is funded through the nationwide Ameri Corps organization and the Utah State Commission on Volunteers and offers the opportunity to provide valuable service to schools and students in their community while gaining experience and skills.

Job Overview:

Ameri Corps Student Success Coordinators (also called "Ameri Corps Members") set up tutoring and mentoring programs in their assigned elementary school and recruit, train and schedule volunteers to work one-on-one with struggling students in literacy or other areas in grades K-6. They work with counselors, administrators and teachers to determine which students could benefit from the program and discuss the needs of each student enrolled in the program in an ongoing manner.

In addition to providing tutoring and mentoring themselves, Ameri Corps Members bring in community volunteers to provide everything from college and career awareness events to regular tutoring and mentoring.
