Reconnecting Youth Through Career GPS

SNA launched its AmeriCorps New York service program in 2019. AmeriCorps is focused on the good acts of Community Service and is funded, in part by, a grant from the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS). St. Nicks Alliance AmeriCorps Members serve as Youth Success Mentors who play a pivotal role in the lives of 500 high-needs youth, ages 12-24. AmeriCorps members are placed at five high schools, three middle schools, and the SNA Workforce Development Center in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg and Bushwick neighborhoods where only 44% of adults have high school diplomas and unemployment for young adults is 18%. Through mentorship, AmeriCorps members help youth to complete high school or vocational training, prepare for graduation, and transition into the workforce or college. 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.
