We are celebrating a year of service with AmeriCorps Missouri!

Ten years later, @AmeriCorps returns to #Joplin. Mere hours after the #joplintornado touched down, @AmeriCorpsSTL had Members on the ground. The people of Joplin recognized this service with an #AmeriCorps hard hat on the memorial grounds. #JoplinStrong AmeriCorps AmeriCorps St. Louis...

I was drawn to apply for the PAVE AmeriCorps program when I realized that I could be in the classroom everyday working with kids while going to college at the s...ame time. PAVE AmeriCorps will allow me to gain irreplaceable experience of being in the classroom everyday and working with kids before I become a teacher. The thing that I like most about elementary students is their love to learn. They are so curious about anything and everything and are excited to be at school everyday. I love working with them and helping them to gain valuable skills that they will eventually use in their everyday life. I hope to gain experience in the classroom as well as skills to be able to build relationships with students. Having relationships with your students is invaluable in the classroom, and I will be able to have these skills before I get into the classroom through the PAVE AmeriCorps program. The thing that I am looking forward to most next year is the children. I absolutely love working with kids and I can't wait to be surrounded by them every single day. I didn't know about AmeriCorps until this past year, and there is nothing about this program that doesn't make me excited. #PAVEWelcome #PAVE20212022Team

Meet Lauren Fant, Missouri's Volunteer of the Week! To nominate your volunteer, visit www.ShowMeService.org. Lauren Fant is a 2nd year college adviser and a Missouri College Advising Corps AmeriCorps member at Raytown South High School in Raytown, Missouri. Raytown South has operated virtually this school year which has presented many challenges when engaging and interacting with students and families. Every day, Lauren has demonstrated a commitment to service and to support...ing her students. She has been creative, dedicated, and persistent in the face of these challenges in order to provide the highest level of support for her students. She has partnered with teachers to visit virtual classrooms, attended student pick-up days to see students, and hosted college trivia sessions. She has worked hard to engage families through email, phone calls, and surveys which has allowed her to connect with over 80 families. Her efforts have resulted in an increase in FAFSA completion at the high school compared to the previous year, even though nationally FAFSA completion rates are down. Additionally, Lauren is a great member of the team. She brings positive energy and provides encouragement and support to newer college advisers. She is always willing to lead trainings or teambuilding and looks for ways to contribute to the overall effectiveness and morale of the team. Missouri Department of Economic Development
