Rend Lake College


Land of Lincoln AmeriCorps is primarily part-time tutors and mentors serving in the grade schools helping with literacy reading skills in the lower grades PreK-2 and homework completion, attitudes toward school, disciplinary referrals with the upper grades 3-8. The hope is for the member to give that little extra help to at least 8-10 teacher-referred students who are needing help to get up to grade level in subjects they are struggling with. The Southern 7 AmeriCorps portion of the grant is primarily full-time members serving with non-profit agencies who are needing extra help in providing face-to-face services to children and families in a wide variety of disciplines including a battered women’s center, a children’s home, a lunch buddies program, computer lab, food pantry, mental health counseling, environmental education and interpretive services for visitors centers, coordination of volunteers in environmental conservation, and environmental recycling. These activities are concentrated in the Southern approximately 10 counties of Illinois.

The goal of the VOCAL*AmeriCorps program is to assist community and faith-based agencies in providing increased services to low literate adults in their communities and teens in the Illinois Youth Centers through a three-pronged approach that consists of: 1.) One-to-one and small group tutoring by AmeriCorps members; 2.) Recruitment of volunteers to serve as one-to-one and small group tutors; and, 3.) A member training and development program that instills in its participants a lifelong ethic of service, as well as provides them with the training they need to be successful in their assignments and the experience required for them to pursue positions in the adult education field, after their AmeriCorps assignment.

The program recruits recently returned Peace Corps volunteers (RPCVs) into a two-year graduate program at WIU. Fellows receive specialized training in community and economic development during the first year in the program, in order to prepare them for an eleven-month, community-based internship and full-time AmeriCorps assignment the second year of the program.

Schuler Scholar Program


The Schuler Scholar Program prepares under-resourced, high potential students to succeed at the most competitive private colleges and universities. Schuler Scholars are typically first generation college bound, come from under resourced families or communities and will need financial assistance in order to attend college. Many Scholars are from a population that is under represented on college campuses. We believe that if high potential but vulnerable students have access to academic and enrichment programs while in high school, are well informed of college options, receive support from family, friends, teachers and mentors, are motivated, and secure financial assistance, they will be successful in obtaining a college degree.
