B*E*S*T AmeriCorps

Mission Statement

B*E*S*T AmeriCorps Program in partnership with home, community, and the Lancaster County School Districe prepares elementary students to achieve their fullest potential. This is accomplished throughout a tutoring program, which provides the students equal access to diverse educational opportunities and to all available resources in a safe and supportive environment. As a result of the one on one tutoring the students become lifelong learners and contributing members of a changing society. We are also dedicated to developing our AmeriCorps members to their fullest potential so they to become lifelong learner's and contributing members of a changing society. This is accomplished by providing the members with on-going training and opportunities to help them acquire the knowledge, skills and values needed to complete their service successfully and to become more employable. Members also become more aware of the needs in the community and are enabled to become educational leaders and active citizens of their communities. The B*E*S*T AmeriCorps Program sponsors and annual literacy fair with community partners and participates in service learning projects throughout the year in school and the community. We believe in ? Getting Things Done".
