This role combines mentoring, advising, and career readiness support to ensure students stay on the path toward higher education.

Primary Responsibilities

The AmeriCorps employee will be expected to work their full-time schedule helping students via in person, phone, and Teams and Blackboard setting to assist them in developing :

• Accountability for effort. Students seem to feel that whatever level of effort / performance they put forth is adequate for academic success
• Math skills-Dual Credit students did not have a strong algebra background as the students normally in college algebra
• Communication Skills-The students do not seem as at ease in interacting with each other and their teachers
• Critical Thinking Skills-Students have a hard time with critical thinking skills
