AmeriCorps
Community Liaison
For children to excel, the needs of the whole child must be addressed. At our ASPIRE After School Learning Centers, Members serving as COMMUNITY LIAISONS can reach out to children and their families to identify social welfare and acculturation issues; provide access to essential resources, services and programs; encourage communication with children's schools; and cultivate relationships with area agencies, organizations and businesses to support community well-being. This position offers an opportunity to empower and uplift entire families at a time. The Member's support at the after-school center will contribute to the evolution of educated, productive and gainfully employed citizens while helping entire families to acculturate, improve quality of life, and progress socially. These Members will reach beyond the needs of the child to help the entire family rise up out of poverty. Because with each individual that succeeds, the entire community thrives. Current Members say, "this experience has transformed my own life," and "working with these families each day fulfills me in ways I could never have imagined."
