Program Overview
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).

We believe service is a powerful way to connect communities, support students, and create meaningful change.
