Member of the Month – March 2025: Kate Faglie, Albion College AmeriCorps
Kate Faglie is earning her degree at Albion College while also serving as an AmeriCorps member with the Albion College AmeriCorps Program. The Albion College AmeriCorps Program seeks to allow its students to help their fellow citizens, serve their local and campus communities, and benefit from the growth and development provided through national service. Members will serve alongside their peers, collaborating to address barriers and gaps in services within the areas of Youth Development, Sustainability and the Environment, Food Security, Health and Wellness, and Economic Opportunity and Development.
Faglie serves at Harrington Elementary where she provides hands-on support in the classroom, working directly with students who need extra support. She helps them build confidence and essential math skills, ensuring they receive the individualized attention necessary for success. Many of the students she supports face academic challenges, socio-economic barriers, or learning differences. Program Director, Lindsey Knowlden, attributes the positive learning environment to Faglie’s patience and encouragement, “Faglie approaches every challenge with optimism and determination, fostering a positive learning environment for both students and colleagues.”
Beyond her daily work with students, Faglie has taken a key role in developing a new math-focused after-school program - Math Corps - set to launch next year. She spends much of her time collaborating with her team, brainstorming curriculum ideas, and designing engaging activities that will provide additional learning opportunities outside of the classroom. Knowlden describes Faglie as a mentor and leader among her peers. “She consistently offers guidance and support to fellow AmeriCorps members, strengthening the overall impact of the Math Corps team. Her reliability and ability to inspire others make her an essential part of the program’s success,” Knowlden continues, “[Faglie] has shown outstanding leadership, dedication, and resourcefulness, making a meaningful impact on both her students and her team.”
