The Center for Community Partnerships is partnering with the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR) in Danville, Virginia, to bring Ameri Corps' Youth Mental Health Corps model to Starr Hill Pathways. The CCP will recruit and supervise Ameri Corps members, who will be hired by IALR for their service term.
Starr Hill Pathways (SHP) is a middle school-to-college pipeline program for low-income and prospective first-generation college-going youth in Charlottesville and Albemarle County Public Schools.
Ameri Corps members support youth development as part of Virginia's Youth Mental Health Corps (YMHC), which uses a near-peer model to engage young adults in local Ameri Corps service to support youth.
Corps volunteers will complete certifications and credentials to prepare them for careers in behavioral health while creating expanded mental health services for youth. Members will serve in local middle and high schools as Student Success Coaches and Success Coach Coordinators, ensuring youth receive the academic and social-emotional support they need. Student Success Coaching combines academic, executive function, and social-emotional support in a coordinated program that serves the whole child.
