"Our AmeriCorps Promise Fellow is super professional and reliable. She created an attendance guideline with statistics, research, policies, and conversation prompts for teachers to use in their advisory with their students to talk about the importance of going to school." 😍 Aren't AmeriCorps members amazing?!? We love hearing reports like this from our school host sites! AmeriCorps

Did you catch not one, not two, but THREE letters from Minnesota Youth Council Representatives in the Star Tribune this weekend? Furii Tufaa, student at Breck School School, Saad Ali, student at St. Croix Preparatory Academy, and Angela Langsweirdt, student at Edina Public Schools wrote about being first-time voters in the upcoming November election. Their words are an important reminder of the power of participation, the need for community, and the responsibility we all have of creating a better future together. https://lnkd.in/gfhabAQP

Minnesota Alliance With Youth's AmeriCorps Promise Fellows and Groundwork Fellows are together for another great day of learning, sharing, and building community! 😍👏 ServeMinnesota #nationalservice #mnyouth #promisefellows #americorps #groundwork

"Their year of service gives them such good experience working in a school environment, so if they decide to pursue a career as a site-based social worker or counselor, they are already familiar with the ins-and-outs of working in a school and being part of that educational team. It's just really, really incredible." We couldn't have said it better ourselves! Thanks to one of our school-based partners for this great insight into one of the MANY benefits of serving as an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow! Invest in YOUR future: https://lnkd.in/eQgXc98

Our AmeriCorps member has shown great presence and we really appreciate him being on site. We're lucky that he wanted to return for another year of service! If we could have our member follow the kids from freshman year to senior year, we would sign up for that in a heartbeat." 😍 What a fantastic testimony from one of our school host site partners!
