Ameri Corps EXL Members are not traditional after-school teachers or childcare staff. Instead, Members serve as enrichment and engagement leaders who help create meaningful, hands-on learning experiences for students while gaining direct exposure to different pathways within education and youth development.

Each Ameri Corps Member will be assigned to support a specific enrichment “track” within the after-school program based on program needs and personal interests. Tracks may include areas such as:

• Arts & Creative Expression
• Sports & Athletics
• STEAM & Hands-On Learning
• And more!
• Members will collaborate closely with after-school staff and program leaders to help facilitate exciting and enriching activities for students while developing practical experience in a focused area of education. Through this experience, Members receive direct coaching, mentorship, and ongoing professional development from site leaders and program coordinators.

In addition to enrichment track support, Members continue to serve as positive role models for students by leading active recess activities, supporting student engagement, and building meaningful mentoring relationships throughout the school day and after-school setting.
