07/23/2026RoarCorps to expand student service across the River ValleyUAFS will launch RoarCorps this September, placing 40 UAFS AmeriCorps members with community partners across the River Valley to support youth education, wellness, environmental stewardship and mental health. The program will expand UAFS’ AmeriCorps work beyond its former Jumpstart program, which focused exclusively on school readiness for preschool children. RoarCorps will allow students to serve in a wider range of settings, including literacy tutoring, food access and education, inclusive wellness programming, garden instruction, conservation work and mental health mentoring.Rachel PutmanCommunityAmericorps members of UAFS pose for a photo with RoarCorps director Corri Brosius2026-07
