The Promise Fellow Experience
AmeriCorps Promise Fellows assist youth in reaching their full potential and set them on a trajectory for high school graduation and lifelong success. Committed to providing the right support to the right youth at the right time, Promise Fellows work to overcome the challenges facing Minnesota students.
The Promise Fellow Model in Action lays out what AmeriCorps members do, and how they do it!
Promise Fellows serve in schools and community organizations as part of a Youth Success Team, and implement a prevention-oriented approach to addressing student dropout by targeting students in grades 6-12 who show the early warning signs of school disengagement.
The VISTA Experience
The Alliance’s AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) program builds organizational capacity by strengthening and connecting existing resources and best practices to better serve youth, especially young people of color and young people living in poverty.
Hosted at partner agencies statewide, such as the Amherst H. Wilder Foundation, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities, Minneapolis Public Schools, Ignite Afterschool, Alliance AmeriCorps VISTAs support and amplify the capacity of organizations to be effective and powerful solutions in addressing poverty and educational inequities. The service of VISTA members allows partner organizations to support more youth to graduate and works to close the opportunity and achievement gaps in Minnesota.
