AmeriCorps members will be placed in the classrooms to serve students that are performing below grade level. Activities will occur in a one-on-one or small group setting before, during and after school. Members will also develop summer enrichment programs with an academic component in these rural areas where they currently are nonexistent. There will be 16 school districts in the four county area of Pawnee, Payne, Osage, Creek and Tulsa serving as host sites for AmeriCorps members.
