What is AmeriCorps?

AmeriCorps members get things done by serving their communities and helping address critical local needs. Through BGCMC’s Elementary School Literacy Program, Members provide hands-on literacy support to K–5 students during after-school programming. Members receive a living allowance, training, professional development, and are eligible for health insurance benefits. Upon successful completion of service, Members earn a Segal AmeriCorps Education Award. 



Through BGCMC’s Elementary School Literacy Program, AmeriCorps members serve at four Club locations throughout Martin County, helping K–5 students build stronger reading and language arts skills. Members provide small-group and individualized literacy support during after-school programming, delivering engaging enrichment activities that reinforce foundational skills, increase confidence, and support improved educational outcomes.
