Detroit AmeriCorps Youth Success Program
AmeriCorps members will be part of a dedicated team to help decrease chronic absence by mentoring youth in 1st-8th grade who are in Tier II (missing 10-19% of school) to facilitate problem-solving and be a positive role model. Members will be trained in the Check & Connect Model. Members work closely with the AmeriCorps Program Director and school staff to identify current gaps in resources, current resources/ partnerships and needs of families and align the efforts. This will allow families to receive the support we know is a critical aspect of youth success and engagement
