Stockton, CA
THE VISION
A first-of-its kind AmeriCorps initiative, the Stockton Service Corps, will engage up to 100 service fellows through a year of service. Fellows will provide targeted academic support, promote restorative justice, socio-emotional wellness, and they will mentor young people, particularly first generation students, as they navigate high school and transition to and through college.
THE IMPACT
- All children enter kindergarten ready to learn
- All students are academically proficient
- All young people graduate from high school ready for a post-secondary pathway of their choosing
- All young people complete a post-secondary pathway beyond high school
Donations will go to support the leadership development of 100+ AmeriCorps service fellows, increasing the number of Service Fellows supporting the Stockton community, and creating opportunity for AmeriCorps Alumni to continue working in Stockton after they complete their year of service.
Charitable Donations will also go directly towards partner organizations of the Stockton Service Corps listed below. Note that the money will go to our partner organization the Community Foundation of San Joaquin that will then distribute the funds to partner organization. This may not be an exhaustive list.
