“In elementary school, students learn how to read, and in middle school, they read to learn. If they don’t build a strong foundation when learning to read, it makes a gap that the student has a really hard time closing.” — Dana Silicki, Advanced Learning Program Manager
The newest episode of Inside IALR highlights the Public Health and STEM/Literacy Education AmeriCorps programs that IALR administers. Dana provides insight on what AmeriCorps is, the background on IALR’s involvement with AmeriCorps, what these programs set out to accomplish, and their impact on the community and program members. Flexible opportunities are available for both programs, and IALR is hosting open interview days across the month of September.
