The Charlevoix-Emmet Intermediate School District (Char-Em ISD) serves 11 school districts over a 2.5 county area in northern Lower Michigan. The Char-Em ISD AmeriCorps Program enrolls 10 full-time members. Each member is assigned to one elementary building. The goal of our program is to increase school success through mentoring at-risk students (at-risk either academically, behaviorally, or socially as determined by school personnel) and to reduce physical and emotional violence within the school and community settings through a variety of practices. Members are expected to mentor children throughout the school year; train students in conflict resolution techniques (this training will be provided to the member via the Intermediate School District or by the school at which they are assigned); recruit non-Americorps volunteers to assist in community service projects; attend a minimum of three local governmental meetings; join a minimum of one non-profit service organization; and any other projects deemed appropriate by the assigned school or Program Director.
