Partners Building a Stronger Tomorrow

This program unites primary youth and family servicing agencies in a collaborative effort to improve and fill gaps in the local service system.

AmeriCorps members tutor and mentor at-risk and under-achieving students, provide enrichment activities that revolve around safe neighborhoods and places for after school involvement, and provide one-on-one support and follow-up to parents in need of reaching family services.

AmeriCorps members will make the community aware of problems that exist for young people in the area and will also recruit volunteers to assist with several programs. 22 full-time and 14 part-time positions. All AmeriCorps positions are located in Ponca City.
