Austin Partners in Education is honored to be an official charity of the Austin Marathon. We will be manning the Mile 5 Aid Station during the race on Sunday, April 25. We're looking for 30-45 volunteers to join us from 6:00 to 9:30 a.m. Volunteers will help set-up, organize, and distribute drinks on the course. They also cheer on the runners and keep the aid station area clean and safe for the athletes. All volunteers will be required to wear mask and social distancing will be enforced. APIE will have coffee, water, and snacks available for volunteers. We are happy to provide a participation certificate for your volunteer hours if needed. You can sign up to volunteer here, and if you have any questions, please contact Ashley Yeaman at ayeaman@austinpartners.org.

Our Mission: Improve student college and career readiness and expand STEM opportunities through community engagement.
Description
Focusing on Austin ISD’s schools located in under-resourced communities and serving predominantly economically disadvantaged students, Austin Partners in Education delivers innovative, volunteer-driven academic and mentoring programs. APIE’s 1,550 volunteers work with students at pivotal junctures in their education, providing a vital extension of academic and social/emotional support to students. Through the flagship Classroom Coaching program, students benefit from small group (3:1 or below) instruction from volunteers drawn from more than 200 Austin area government agencies, businesses and community organizations.
APIE is currently implementing the following programs:
Middle School Math Classroom Coaching: Volunteers in the classroom work weekly with students to build a strong foundation in middle school math, putting them on track to succeed in high school algebra.
College Readiness: College Readiness Advocates provide tutoring and college access mentoring to prepare students for college-level coursework.
Mentoring (all grades): Volunteers work one-on-one with students during the school day to help students improve their social and study skills, strengthen their communication skills, and build self-confidence.
