clothing items), a children’s book, and a learning kit. This is a self-appointed parent education program for
which a visit protocol, evidence-based curriculum, individualized parent education plan, and a specific
home visit framework has been developed.

staffed in a variety of sites, based on community need. These sites may range from medical clinics to

AmeriCorps members will collaborate with community partners, other home
visitation programs and clinic/site staff in order to provide support to families with children aged newborn
through three years old. In addition to conducting first-time Welcome Visits to new families, AmeriCorps
members will recruit, train and manage community volunteers (home visitors) to provide regular monthly
in-home visits and mentor families.
