2021 Sitka Alaska AmeriCorps Program-trauma-informed service
 
 
 
Sitka, Alaska (AK) is an isolated rural community in need of support to counteract the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE’s). The Sitka AmeriCorps Program (SAP) oversees a consortium of 15 to 20 partner host-sites. The Sitka School District (SSD), nonprofit sector, and community of Sitka all rely on the ripple effect created through the SAP to extend their services. The SAP supports youth K-12. We do this through a trauma-informed program design and use a range of developmental relationship and enrichment interventions. The National Scientific Council on the Developing Child states that the single most common finding is that children who end up doing well and build resilience despite having experienced ACE’s have had at least one stable and committed relationship. Through this research, the Search Institute has created the Developmental Relationships Framework that is rooted in the belief that relationships are developmental when they help young people: 1) discover who they are; 2) develop abilities to shape their own lives; and 3) learn how to engage with and contribute to the world around them. They further show that there are 5 critical elements to success that our program is designed to deliver: 1) express care; 2) challenge growth; 3) provide support; 4) share power; and 5) expand possibilities. To support these five critical elements SAP will have 32 members deliver a series of relationship-based interventions and enrichment activities designed to build resilience and offset ACE’s and COVID-19. The program design accomplishes this through a range of strategies that include: 1) academic support; 2) mentoring; 3) mental health and life skills; 4) enrichment activities; and 5) capacity building. The program is designed to leverage these interventions to assist with COVID-19 recovery in our community.
