School Based - AmeriCorps Community Resource Navigator

UWGLV AmeriCorps
Easton, PA
The Community Resource Navigator AmeriCorps program is designed to strengthen student success by blending mentorship with access to essential resources. CRNs serve within schools to provide Social Emotional Learning support, helping students build self-confidence, develop leadership skills, and set achievable goals. They work closely with school leadership teams using attendance trends, behavior data, and staff input to identify students who may be at risk of chronic absenteeism or disengagement from learning.

Beyond direct student mentorship, CRNs play a vital role in supporting families. They connect parents and caregivers to school-based pantries, clothing closets, and donation drives, ensuring that basic needs are met so students can focus on learning. CRNs also serve as a bridge between the school community and local organizations, expanding access to services and support throughout the Greater Lehigh Valley. By addressing both academic and non-academic barriers, CRNs help create a school environment where students can thrive and families feel connected and supported.
