From academic interventions to workforce development programs AAI is committed to making a positive and lasting impact on the lives of individuals and families across the San Luis and Arkansas Valleys.
A goal of Alpine Achievers Initiative is to increase academic performance in rural Colorado
Our academic programs bring AmeriCorps members from all over the country to the area to assist students in the classroom. Pairing struggling students with an AmeriCorps member who can serve them throughout the year increases academic performance, boosts confidence, and gives kids a chance to succeed. Each school and site has different challenges. Having an AmeriCorps member gives sites the flexibility to utilize them throughout the day where they are needed most.
This could look like:
Delivering one-on-one and small group tutoring with fidelity in math and literacy.
Supporting a classroom with a large number of students.
Working with kids in different grades throughout the day.
