Program Overview The AmeriCorps EXL program provides holistic support to students. All students benefit from structured games and conflict-resolution activities during recess and lunch. Students identified for additional support receive targeted tutoring in literacy or math and/or participate in small-group mentoring focused on social-emotional growth.

Essential AmeriCorps Duties Active Recess: Facilitate daily structured games and activities that promote teamwork, inclusion, and positive behavior during recess and lunch. Mentor students in conflict resolution and cooperative play.

Academic Tutoring: Provide daily 30‑minute tutoring sessions—1:1, in pairs, or small groups—at least four days per week for students below grade level in reading or math. Lesson plans are developed or supported by teachers/curriculum.

Mentoring Services: Lead weekly 30‑minute mentoring sessions—individually or in small groups—focused on relationship‑building, emotional regulation, and personal development. Mentors work with the same students for consistency and trust.
