AARP Foundation Experience Corps (EC) proposes to have 362 AmeriCorps members (16 reduced half time, 26 quarter time, and 320 minimum time) who will tutor children in grades K-3 struggling to read at grade level and support improved academic performance in Baltimore, MD, Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Philadelphia, PA, Portland, OR, Twin Cities, MN, and Washington, DC.

At the end of the first program year, the AmeriCorps members will be responsible for academic improvement in reading/literacy performance. The outcomes include: 65% of students improve reading and literacy performance by at least half a grade level, 44% improve by a full grade level, and 34% are classified as on or above grade level at the end of the year.

In addition, AmeriCorps members will leverage an additional 1,500 leveraged volunteers, who will be engaged in the EC model of intergenerational tutoring to even more kindergarten through third-grade children. This program will focus on the CNCS focus area of education.

The CNCS investment of $1,249,130.78 will be matched with $1,249,864.58; $156,788.21 in public funding and $1,093,076.37 in private funding.
