MRC addresses low reading proficiency by supplementing and enhancing shared reading experiences to ignite a love of reading and improve reading engagement for elementary school students.&nbsp;MRC’s&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on&nbsp;reading&nbsp;engagement&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;strategy to&nbsp;support&nbsp;students in&nbsp;reaching&nbsp;mid-term outcomes of academic performance (on-time grade promotion, standardized test scores) and ultimately, long-term outcomes of on-time graduation rates and college or career readiness. MRC improves reading engagement through a variety of strategies such as one-to-one reading sessions, guest reading opportunities, incentives to support summer reading camps, book donations, and family engagement events. MRC has also expanded into STEM. MRC’s STEM component follows the STEM Learning Ecosystem approach to preparing our youth for the global economy through STEM afterschool engagements and programming while developing growth and computational thinking mindsets.<h2>AmeriCorps&nbsp;Member Position&nbsp;Overview</h2>AmeriCorps&nbsp;Members will coordinate schedules and&nbsp;enroll&nbsp;prekindergarten&nbsp;to third-grade students in one-on-one reading and STEM engagement sessions with district-approved volunteers, engage parents&nbsp;about&nbsp;the&nbsp;importance&nbsp;of&nbsp;reading&nbsp;at&nbsp;home,&nbsp;increase home&nbsp;libraries&nbsp;through book&nbsp;distribution, and&nbsp;promote literacy&nbsp;and&nbsp;STEM&nbsp;through&nbsp;general outreach&nbsp;and&nbsp;community engagement&nbsp;in Richland, Lexington, Orangeburg, Fairfield, and Newberry Counties.<h2>Minimum&nbsp;Qualifications</h2><ul><li>Be&nbsp;at least&nbsp;18&nbsp;years&nbsp;of&nbsp;age&nbsp;or older.</li><li>Have&nbsp;or&nbsp;be&nbsp;working&nbsp;towards a&nbsp;high&nbsp;school&nbsp;diploma&nbsp;or&nbsp;its&nbsp;equivalent.</li><li>Be&nbsp;a&nbsp;citizen, national,&nbsp;or&nbsp;lawful&nbsp;permanent&nbsp;resident alien&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;United&nbsp;States</li><li>Satisfy&nbsp;the&nbsp;National Service&nbsp;Criminal&nbsp;History Check&nbsp;eligibility&nbsp;criteria pursuant&nbsp;to&nbsp;45&nbsp;CFR 2540.202.</li></ul><h2>Essential&nbsp;Functions</h2><ul><li>Facilitate&nbsp;the&nbsp;day-to-day&nbsp;operations&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;program.
