Academic Tutor & SEL Support

Program Summary We achieve this through enrichment activities, academic support, mentoring, mental health and life skills assistance, and capacity building. AmeriCorps members typically serve 36-40 hours per week in roles such as tutors, mentors, outreach workers, and community organizers. Members live in shared co‑housing, collaborating on cooking and cleaning. We encourage members to dedicate 10% of their service hours to community engagement outside their primary roles. Members often connect with local clubs, faith groups, and support networks, gaining insights into the community's dynamics. Given Alaska’s unique geography, applicants must commit to a full‑time year of service, with preference for local candidates. Leadership development is a core component of the Sitka AmeriCorps Program. Members undergo training to enhance leadership skills with a focus on self‑management, group conflict resolution, and effective community service. Transportation is primarily by foot or bicycle in Sitka’s walkable community, with public transit available. Position Summary Sitka AmeriCorps members engage with the community using a healing‑centered and culturally responsive approach.
