Alpine Achievers Initiative
 
 
 
Alpine Achievers Initiative (AAI) inspires, connects, and nurtures youth, families, and communities in south-central Colorado. AmeriCorps members support local youth, from pre-k to highschool, through academic interventions and extracurricular programming as Student Engagement Specialists with AAI. During the 23/24 service term, members will be placed with host sites across seven counties throughout the San Luis and Arkansas River Valleys. To learn more about AAI’s programming, visit www.alpineachievers.org. SERVICE RESPONSIBILITIES IN PRIMARY PROGRAMS: Member positions vary widely based on the needs of the site and where the position is located. Some positions focus on academic interventions, some on extracurricular programming, and others are a mix of in-school and out-of-school activities. All programs are in direct service with youth. AmeriCorps members are encouraged to connect with and support students both academically and socially/emotionally with the help of their program manager and site supervisor. Members are required to meet with program managers a minimum of once per month and with site supervisors a minimum of once per week to ensure success within their site. In addition, members are required to attend a week-long orientation that includes overnights in shared spaces, monthly professional development opportunities, and a winter retreat (including overnights). These requirements are meant to enrich the AmeriCorps member experience through personal and professional growth, reflection, and connection.

Member Duties : Member positions vary widely. Some positions focus on academic interventions, some on extracurricular programming, and others are a mix of in-school and out-of-school activities. Academic interventions are opportunities for students who are not proficient in a subject to receive additional support outside of class time. Primary responsibilities of AmeriCorps members include 1:1 tutoring of students in areas such as math or reading under the supervision of their site supervisor and/or small group instruction of 3-5 students in a classroom setting. Out-of-school time (OST) is a supervised program that youth attend when school is not in session. Examples include after-school programs such as the Boys and Girls Club, camps during school breaks, and home-school programming. Primary responsibilities of AmeriCorps members include facilitating an array of activities both in and out of doors that help improve personal and social skills of the youth they are serving.
