NATIONAL AMERICORPS WEEK | Through the Department of Student Support Services and the Office of Community Support Services, JCPS has proudly operated the AmeriCorps REACH Corps program for 15 years. REACH Corps members serve at elementary and middle schools, supporting students who show early signs of disengagement. Our goal is to help students reach their full academic potential and graduate on time.
Join us in celebrating our 18 dedicated JCPS REACH Corps members, who have committed this year to serving our most precious resource—our students!
