***Granite State Education Corps -Summer Ed Only- NH

In the Granite State Education Corps (GSEC), direct service AmeriCorps members serve youth, grades 4-12 across New Hampshire. Many Granite State youth have been impacted by trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which, without proper support, can negatively affect success, health, and functioning long-term. The good news? The impacts of ACEs can be counteracted, and one of those ¿counter-ACEs¿ is relationships. GSEC aims to introduce stability and positive relationships into the lives of middle and high school youth by pairing them with AmeriCorps member mentors, who regularly meet one-on-one or in small groups with a caseload of ten students to increase their resiliency, social and emotional skills, and self-sufficiency¿in essence, serving the ¿whole child. During the Summer, members are placed at host site organizations across the Granite State, from college towns like Durham and Keene, by Black Pond in rustic Windsor, to southern New Hampshire¿s city of Manchester. Summer host sites include Breakthrough Manchester and Upward Bound UNH. Although members serve in a full-time capacity, these are minimum- and quarter-time positions.
