How Does it Work?
The Massachusetts Promise Fellowship (MPF) operates using a scattered site model placing AmeriCorps members in many cities across the state. AmeriCorps members have a strong impact on students thanks to partnerships with nonprofit organizations, schools, and city agencies.
When you are accepted into the program, you are assigned to a partner site where you will build relationships and deliver out-of-school time (OST) programming to a cohort of young people between the grades of 6-12. Your work with young people can range from leading career development workshops to supporting college essays to creating academic enrichment activities. There is no question that your work with helping MPF increases youth academic engagement outcomes to support dropout prevention.
