    AmeriCorps Promise Fellows expand and complement the broader
    Minneapolis Public School District dropout prevention efforts, broadening the
    strategy into 26 MPS schools.
    The majority of students served live in poverty, a proportion of these students may
    be identified as homeless or highly mobile, and/or receiving ELL services.
    Promise Fellows create solutions that bring family, community, school, and county
    support persons/programs together to remove barriers and uncover options that will
    help prevent student absences and disengagement from escalating.
    Through their role as mentor, advocate and case-manager, AmeriCorps Promise
    Fellows provide intensive support to students, their family, and teachers through
    regular contacts (at least weekly, often daily).

    AmeriCorps Promise Fellows work with students in grades 6-10 to develop a


    plan to keep them engaged in school and on-track for high school graduation,
    drawing on a menu of research-based, data-driven activities informed by
    leading research in dropout prevention.

    Caring Adult supports: informal mentoring, assistance


    with work completion, check-ins, etc. These activities establish
    positive relationships at school- relationships that support
    student engagement and protect against negative outcomes.

    Service and Leadership supports:


    encouraging students to be a mentor,
    volunteer, or engage in service. Research
    shows that these activities have a strong
    impact on early indicators of dropout risk.

    Out-of-School supports: after-school clubs,


    activities and tutoring. Research shows that
    participation in afterschool activities leads to
    increased achievement, attendance, pro-social
    behavior, and connection to school.
