Job Description:
AmeriCorps members, titled "RISE Program Specialists", facilitate a skill-based curriculum to adjudicated youth, ages 12-18, focusing on educational skill development. The facilitation of the curriculum occurs in a group setting with youth attending either in-person or virtually. AmeriCorps Members may also serve youth on an individual basis, specific to the youth needs. As skill development takes time, additional support will be provided to each youth after the completion of the curriculum for up to 6 months.
So what is AmeriCorps? When you think of AmeriCorps, think of the Peace Corps but in your own backyard. AmeriCorps is a civil society program supported by the U.S. federal government, foundations, corporations and other donors engaging adults in public service work with a goal of "helping others and meeting critical needs in the community." Not only do RISE AmeriCorps members make a difference in their community, they gain valuable experience for their next job or graduate school endeavor.
Recognizing Increased Skills in Education (RISE) is a grant-funded AmeriCorps Program requiring a one-year commitment from the AmeriCorps member to serve between the dates of August 1, 2026, and July 31, 2027. Part-time members will be required to complete 900 service hours. Members may serve more than one service year, not to exceed four service years.

The award can be used to pay for college or vocational school, to pay back qualified student loans, or in some cases can be transferred to children or grandchildren.
  • Student Loan Forbearance and Payment of Interest Accrued on Qualified Student Loans:
    • Members may be eligible to have the repayment of their qualified student loans postponed while serving (loan forbearance).
