In Monte Vista, community is everything. AAI partners with multiple schools—Marsh Elementary, Bill Metz, MVMS, and MVHS—as well as Kids Connection to support academic growth and emotional wellness.
AAI members in Monte Vista wear many hats: tutor, mentor, role-model, friend. Whether it be helping students create books at Marsh Elementary, leading a small reading group with the students at Bill Metz, or creating engaging activities for kids at Kids Connection, no two days look alike. But one thing stays constant: the joy of supporting young learners.
“I have worked with several AmeriCorps members over the past ten years. In my experience, each has brought enthusiasm and their own particular talents to the job. Each one was eager to work with the students, provide support in any way they were asked, and open to acquiring new skills and knowledge. Working with them enriched my life and the lives of our students.” –Heidi Stevenson, Teacher at Marsh Elementary School
