AmeriCorps Mentors for Success

AmeriCorps Mentors for Success (AMS) provides individualized school-based mentoring for students grades 5-12 that are struggling with attendance and social-emotional skills. Mentors strive to build students' feelings of confidence and connectedness to school, which in turn catalyze growth in attendance and academic achievement.

AMS Mentors are trained to provide 1-on-1 and small group mentoring services to students in grades 5-12 with documented attendance challenges. Mentors provide individualized support in critical areas such as career exploration, college readiness, academic tutoring, and social-emotional skill building.
