Carroll County Public Schools - Carroll County Public Schools--Reading for Life
Reading for Life is a tutoring AmeriCorps program sponsored by the Carroll County Public School Board. In 2011-2012 school year, 30 tutors of reading and math will be placed in 9 different schools serving the K -9th grade student population.

Community involvement is also a goal of the Reading for Life members. In the past community involvement has included food, toy, school supply drives, assistance for the Free Clinic of the Twin Counties and the Family Resource Center for domestic violence victims, Head Start school beautification projects, an English as a Second Language (ESL) Family Literacy Night, landscape projects for the schools and a local state park. During the spring of 2011, some of the members and recruited teachers volunteered in tornado relief clean up in the Pulaski County area. Whenever possible, the Reading for Life AmeriCorps members create opportunities to involve the students in community and school projects to instill the value of volunteerism.

Pathways’ mission is to advance community restoration, spiritual and physical health and economic growth in Petersburg, Virginia, through partnerships. Our program addresses the juvenile offender recidivism rate by providing a year-round training program for 40-60 youth per year that includes educational interventions, life-skills, leadership development, support services, health education, job readiness, civic engagement, job training in construction, and opportunities to obtain job related certifications that are recognized locally, statewide, and nationally. Our program strives to develop a service learning ethic among our members that will counteract the lack of community attachment, provide decent affordable housing to first time home buyers, address the compelling need within the target community of career development of low-income individuals, increase ability of participants to resolve conflicts without violence, provide appropriate personal interaction, and exhibit good daily living skills.

Virginia Commonwealth University - AmeriCorps and America Reads
Established in 1995, the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) AmeriCorps Program is the foundation of a comprehensive effort in the City of Richmond designed to ensure that every child in the region reads well and independently by the end of the third grade. Locally, this initiative is called America Reads in Richmond and Henrico (ARCH). It is a partnership between Virginia Commonwealth University and other local colleges and universities, community based organizations, and the local business sector, who have committed themselves to helping improve the literacy skills of local children and families in Richmond area communities characterized by high unemployment and low school achievement and graduation rates. The Program sponsors 57 AmeriCorps members who serve with local schools and community service agencies assisting children in a range of education and related parent development projects which serve nearly 1000 children in 15 elementary schools.

William Byrd High and Middle School/Roanoke County Public Schools - Wolf Creek Walk
Wolf Creek's Walk is an opportunity for students from William Byrd High and Middle Schools, and Arnold Burton Technology Center to work together to improve the watershed area of Wolf Creek in Roanoke County through a series of service learning projects. The students will help restore the area around Wolf Creek by planting native plants and improving the existing walking trail. Wolf Creek is part of the Roanoke Valley's Greenway Project.

Major activities include: monitoring the water quality of Wolf Creek before, during, and after the project; working with the Blue Ridge Wildflower Society to identify native plants and learn the appropriate care for them; construct a greenhouse to replenish native Virginian plants; create a landscaped native plant river trail; record audio tours of the walk; record a documentary of the trail that shows the development and progress of the project for individuals with disabilities and for classroom use; prepare promotional pamphlets providing illustrations and photos with information on native flora; create an exhibit; and finally develop an informational power point of the walk to be available for students in the classroom as well as outside organizations and clubs.
