AMERICORPS CALIFORNIA STUDENT SUCCESS COACH GRANT PROGRAM
Details
Purpose:
As a result of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s vision and investment, the CA SSC Grant Program
will provide competitive grants to supplement AmeriCorps programs delivering the defined
attributes and services of student success coaches in high-need schools throughout the state.
Description:
The California Student Success Coach Grant Program is an initiative administered by California
Volunteers (CV) in partnership with AmeriCorps programs that offer leadership and maintain a
strong track record in evidence-based practices in the delivery of student success coaching. As
the State Service Commission for California, CV is responsible for engaging Californians in
service, volunteering, and civic action to tackle our State’s most pressing challenges and lift-up
all communities. By supporting more than 4,000 AmeriCorps State members annually, California
Volunteers aims to inspire the next generation of civic leaders, create a pathway to debt-free
college, and build a culture of service and civic engagement in California. Through the Student
Success Coach Grant Program investment, CV will administer grants to existing AmeriCorps
education and youth development programs dedicated enhancing the impact of student
success coaches serving in California. Eligibility for these grants is defined by the following three
pathways:
(1) Existing Student Success Coach AmeriCorps Program Support: Direct investment to
support implementation and operating efforts of existing AmeriCorps student
success coach programs, who deliver a coaching model with great fidelity, as
defined;
(2) Aspiring Student Success Coach AmeriCorps Planning Support: Direct investments
to support planning efforts of existing AmeriCorps education and youth
development programs who currently deliver at least three of the drivers defining
aspects of the student success coach model with great fidelity, yet desire to
incorporate additional drivers of the model. This pathway also includes direct
investments to existing SSC AmeriCorps programs who are exploring expansion of
their service, including: increasing the number of student success coaches through
recruitment, hiring, and onboarding practices; investing in additional training and
development of existing AmeriCorps student success coaches to serve in new sites;
and/or exploring and enhancing partnerships with districts/schools to secure
placement of additional student success coaches.
(3) Student Success Coach Programmatic Training and Technical Assistance (TTA)
Engagement Support*: Direct investment for one existing AmeriCorps student
success coach program to develop and provide state-wide programmatic training
and technical assistance—including the design and execution of curriculum,
framework for implementation, and a learning network and communities of
practice—to advance the awareness, support, expansion, and establishment of
impact and success metrics of the California Student Success Coach Grant program,
as defined.
