***Breakthrough Manchester, Manchester, NH

In the Granite State Education Corps (GSEC), direct service AmeriCorps members serve youth, grades 4-12 across New Hampshire. Many Granite State youth have been impacted by trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which, without proper support, can negatively affect success, health, and functioning long-term. The good news? The impacts of ACEs can be counteracted, and one of those “counter-ACEs” is relationships. GSEC aims to introduce stability and positive relationships into the lives of at-risk middle and high school youth by pairing them with AmeriCorps member mentors, who regularly meet one-on-one or in small groups with a caseload of ten students to increase their resiliency, social and emotional skills, and self-sufficiency—in essence, serving the “whole child.” Breakthrough Manchester provides six years of intensive, tuition-free programming to support Manchester students from traditionally underserved communities on their path to college. We are building the next generation of teachers through competitive recruitment, coaching from master educators, and research-based training to teach through a lens of social justice (www.breakthroughmanchester.org). The member will support Breakthrough Manchester college and middle school students involved in Breakthrough Programming. Whether you have always dreamed of teaching in a classroom or are considering it for the first time, serving at Breakthrough will help you prepare for a career in education while building skills that are transferable to any profession.

Member Duties : During School Year Programming, the member will coordinate Super Saturdays held at Derryfield School. Each month has its own theme such as identity and belonging, developing soft skills, heroes in history, empowerment day, languages around the world, and developing effective communication skills. Skill-building Saturdays include soft skills development; initial college search and test prep; campus visits; college application and financial aid assistance; and FASFA and college-readiness support. Connecting high school students with the Breakthrough College-Bound program at SNHU, the member will create a seamless pipeline of opportunity through high school and on to college matriculation. The AmeriCorps member will also be key in creating a new afterschool tutoring program for students, as well as school vacation camps! By providing ongoing youth development, the AmeriCorps will help close the opportunity gap by focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion in all subject areas.
