Reports to: EXL Program Coordinator

In an effort to strengthen the recruitment and retention of AmeriCorps EXL members, the Recruitment Leader will support expanding and building the program’s capacity to effectively recruit, engage, and retain high-quality AmeriCorps Members across Napa County school sites.

The Recruitment Leader will serve alongside the AmeriCorps leadership team to expand community outreach, strengthen social media presence through active posting and coordination with partner agencies, and promote the transformational impact of the AmeriCorps EXL program and National Service.

Identifying and implementing effective recruitment strategies to increase the capacity of the AmeriCorps EXL program is a significant component of this role, as are supporting retention efforts, planning recruitment events, and helping strengthen partnerships and community awareness surrounding the program.

The Recruitment Leader will provide capacity-building support to the AmeriCorps EXL team through recruitment, outreach, relationship-building, and engagement efforts designed to support the following outcomes:

• Increase in AmeriCorps member applications received
• Increase in AmeriCorps member slots filled
• Increase in AmeriCorps member retention and engagement

The goal of the AmeriCorps EXL program is to provide comprehensive support to students through tutoring, mentoring, social-emotional learning, and expanded learning opportunities. The program applies a layered support model implemented by AmeriCorps Mentors and Tutors serving K–8 students throughout Napa and Sonoma County school sites.

All students benefit from organized collaborative games, conflict resolution support, and positive engagement during recess and lunch. Students needing additional support may be assigned targeted tutoring services in literacy and/or math or mentoring services focused on social-emotional learning.

Expanded Learning (EXL) is one of two AmeriCorps programs within the Napa County Office of Education (NCOE). NCOE values and nurtures an environment that is respectful, courageous, inclusive, and equitable. We believe service is a powerful way to connect communities, support students, and create meaningful change.
