Who We Are
UTRGV AmeriCorps Program
AmeriCorps is an opportunity to make a big difference in your life and in the lives of those around you. As a member, you will learn teamwork, leadership, responsibility and other essential skills that will help you for the rest of your life. And you will gain the personal satisfaction of taking on challenges and seeing results.
AmeriCorps members assist students with the college enrollment process (admissions, testing, academic advising, financial aid, orientation, registration, etc.), facilitate parent workshops and serve as a liaison for students (at ISD high schools and other designated venues, via phone and/or email). Members will maintain program activity logs, compile reports and other required documentation.
Each year the AmeriCorps Program serves over 4,000 12th grade students; AmeriCorps members answer questions and guide students with all college enrollment requirements. AmeriCorps engages more than 75,000 Americans in intensive service each year at nonprofits, schools, public agencies, and community and faith-based groups across the country.
