Upcoming opportunities:
AmeriCoach: Promise Fellows have the opportunity to be matched with a Life Coach throughout the
Service term to support personal and professional goals. Fellows will note their interest at the #2
Corps meeting and be matched mid/late October.
Alumni Mentoring Program for Returning Promise Fellows: The Promise Fellow Alumni Mentoring
Program was developed to help current AmeriCorps Promise Fellows plan for life after AmeriCorps
by connecting them to former Fellows that have made successful transitions into various career
fields. Current Fellows are paired with Alumni based on their career interests and aspirations, field
of study and desired skill acquisition. The Mentoring Program suggests opportunities throughout the
year for mentees and mentors to engage in activities and discussions with each other. The
Mentoring Program is available to returning (2nd, 3rd, etc year) Promise Fellows only; matching will
begin mid-October.
