The Minnesota Alliance With Youth has sites recruiting AmeriCorps Promise Fellows in Spring Lake Park schools, Stillwater schools, Chaska public schools, North St. Paul Schools, Fridley, and at Anoka- Hennepin ALC. Please share this information with any contacts in your network who might be interested. These sites are still recruiting and we’re hoping to get members in place as soon as possible!

Promise Fellows serve in the schools and community based organizations (middle and high schools), supporting youth in grades 6-10th in areas of academic support, in and out of school time, service learning, to increase engagement in school and life. Members are supported by a supervisor in the school, often times the assistant principal or counselor, and part of a student support team to assist students. The Fellow is particularly charged with supporting students with high truancy, behavioral referrals, and/or in need of academic improvements.
