The Corporation for National and Community Service, which administers the AmeriCorps program, has awarded the Cornell University Public Service Center's Raising Education Attainment Fellowship Challenge (REACH) program with 25 AmeriCorps educational awards, totaling $27,000. The funds will support 25 REACH/AmeriCorps fellows, who will work with local nonprofit organizations to mobilize Cornell students to help tutor and mentor children in the Ithaca area and in surrounding schools and communities. REACH is a student-driven and -initiated program at Cornell established in 1999 to coordinate and strengthen services provided to Ithaca area schools and community agencies. It includes REACH fellows as well as America Reads Challenge (ARC) and America Counts Challenge (ACC) federal work-study students. Fellows recruit, mobilize and organize a diverse group of student tutors, helping them gain the necessary resources, peer support and leadership skills to assist in enhancing the academic achievement of area children in pre-K through ninth grade.
