Reconnecting Youth Through Social Emotional Wellness
 
 
 
St. Nicks Alliance AmeriCorps Members serve as Junior Counselors who play a pivotal role in the lives of 2000 at-risk youth, ages 2-13. AmeriCorps members are placed at 16 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 community centers in North Brooklyn to support the after school programs with three basic needs around community wellness (academic support, SEL/Mental Health Support, and Community and Family engagement). Through mentorship, AmeriCorps members help children’s development of critical socio-emotional skills, including empathy, decision-making, community building, and conflict resolution. Full-time AmeriCorps Members serve 1700 hours over 12 months, typically 5 days/week, 35 hours per week. Part-time AmeriCorps members have a modified schedule, serving 900 hours over 6-12 months. Based on hours of service, AmeriCorps members receive a living allowance and a Segal Education Award to pay for college expenses, and in some cases, the college expenses of their children or grandchildren. Members will receive training prior to their placement and during their service year in order to successfully meet their service responsibilities.
