| Form 990, Part III, Line 2: New Services | Added the Recovery Corps program. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: READING CORPS Minnesota Reading Corps is a statewide literacy program that is increasing the number of Minnesota children who are proficient readers by the end of third grade. Research shows this benchmark is critical to later success in school and in life: After third grade, students apply their reading skills to learn the increasingly complex, multidisciplinary information introduced in fourth grade and beyond. Those who read proficiently by third grade are four times more likely to graduate from high school than those who do not.Minnesota Reading Corps trains and deploys AmeriCorps members to provide tutoring to students age 3 to grade 3 who need an extra boost to catch up to grade level targets. The program partners with school districts and preschool agencies to place highly trained and professionally supported AmeriCorps members in early childhood education programs, Head Start centers and elementary schools. Reading Corps tutors are trained in specific research-based literacy interventions, and are supported by both site-based educational staff as well as master coaches who are among Minnesotas top literacy experts. With access to the latest research on reading intervention strategies, these trained AmeriCorps tutors work one-on-one with students, as well as in small group and large group settings. They provide tailored interventions so that each child can gain the literacy skills they need at a rate to become successful readers by the end of third grade.Reading Corps provides what struggling readers need individualized, data-driven instruction; well-trained tutors; expert coaching; interventions delivered with fidelity; and the frequency and duration necessary for student achievement. This model has been validated as effective and replicable through four rigorous and independent evaluations by NORC at the University of Chicago. These studies confirmed that Reading Corps is proven to work and is closing the achievement gap. Students of color, students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch and English Learners are achieving outcomes equal to or better than their peers. In fact, those with higher risk factors actually made stronger gains. In addition, AmeriCorps members produce significantly greater increases in student literacy outcomes in any setting urban, suburban or rural. Further, research conducted by the Center for Learning Solutions has shown that Reading Corps participants are three times less likely to be assigned to special education than non-participants, creating a permanent benefit to children and a significant ongoing savings to schools that can be redirected to the classroom for the benefit of all children. Through this program, ServeMinnesota demonstrates the capacity to successfully design and implement large-scale initiatives. Since 2003, Minnesota Reading Corps has helped more than 232,000 struggling students progress to reading proficiency by the end of third grade. Last year, 85% of preschool Reading Corps participants showed growth on at least 3 of 5 key early literacy skills, indicating their readiness for Kindergarten. About 77% of K-3 students exceeded their growth goals, narrowing or closing the gap between their initial skill level and their grade level target. School administrators and staff appreciate the added support for their students. A year end survey shows 98% of administrators believe the program has a positive impact on their site and students. Teachers agree that the program helps reach more students and 97% feel positive about students in their classroom participating in Reading Corps. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: MATH CORPS - Minnesota Math Corps, an AmeriCorps program modeled after Minnesota Reading Corps, is designed to help 4th-8th graders achieve proficiency in math, a critical gateway skill for high school graduation, college admission and college completion. Gaps in math knowledge begin as early as elementary school and increase over time. Math Corps helps fill those gaps and prepares students for high school algebra, a prerequisite for college and a foundational component in the growing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) job sector. Math Corps provides schools with a tool to bridge the gap between current math research and the capacity to apply that research within their classrooms. Rigorously trained tutors supported by math experts not only achieve results for individual students, but also serve as a start-up team for school sites that want and need support to implement a data-based problem solving model of math instruction. Math Corps is provided free of charge to students during the school day to eliminate barriers to attendance. Students who receive free Math Corps tutoring improve their math skills at nearly twice the rate of comparable students. Plus, Math Corps students build self-confidence, which directly translates into greater interest in more complex coursework. In turn, this helps students who are underrepresented in STEM education, including low-income students, girls and students of color, to access this growing and important field.In 2017-2018, Math Corps tutors served nearly 3,200 students who needed help reaching algebra-readiness by 8th grade. Math Corps utilizes nationally-recognized instructional recommendations from the Institute of Education Science (IES) for students in need of moderate to strong support. Students receive explicit targeted instruction, immediate feedback, and visual supports throughout each lesson to build the strong foundation needed for solving progressively more challenging lessons.Math Corps undergoes a robust statewide program evaluation annually to understand program impact and drive continuous improvements to the model. An independent evaluation funded by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation found that Math Corps students made significantly larger gains in math skills than students who did not receive Math Corps tutoring. At the conclusion of the study, Math Corps students were a semester ahead of their expected trajectory and getting on track for the academic and career success associated with math proficiency.Students who receive Math Corps tutoring are catching up to their peers in the classroom: 68% of students served exceeded their grade-level growth expectations, encouraging results given that 100% of the students tutored by Math Corps were at risk for not achieving proficiency. Math Corps also offers a year-end survey to Internal Coaches and building administrators to better understand the impact of the program on systems change, data-based decision making, and overall satisfaction. Through that survey, 94% of coaches agreed that Math Corps had a positive impact on students and 100% of administrators agreed that Math Corps tutors provided more practice time each day to students who need it. Since launching in 2008 in one Minnesota school district, Math Corps has grown to serve schools statewide and is nationally replicated. Math Corps has helped more than 22,500 Minnesota students get on track for academic and economic success. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Reading Corps National Replication ServeMinnesota provides technical assistance, training and evaluation to other states that are either in a planning or implementation phase of replicating the proven and effective Minnesota Reading Corps model. ServeMinnesota provides oversight and consultation to the essential elements of the Reading Corps model to ensure the model is delivered with fidelity in replication states, and provides data management and evaluation services. PROGRAM SUPPORT ServeMinnesota provides technical assistance, training, program development, monitoring, and general program compliance support to Minnesota AmeriCorps programs.TRAINING ServeMinnesota provides leadership development, training and technical assistance activities to enhance effectiveness of AmeriCorps programs, research activities and program evaluation. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: RECOVERY CORPS Minnesota Recovery Corps is a new AmeriCorps program launched in 2017 to address the opioid epidemic. The misuse of and addiction to opioids is a national health crisis and one that is of great concern right here in Minnesota. Beyond the personal tragedies of loss, however, the opioid crisis is inflicting devastating harm on the national economy. The crisis has left the public and private sectors wrestling with an effective response that includes medication, an addiction treatment system tied to evidenced-based best practices, and recovery support services.Minnesota Recovery Corps is helping to address this alarming and pervasive issue. More than 20 million people are in recovery nationwide, and sustained recovery requires building a life filled with purpose, community and service. AmeriCorps, often referred to as the domestic Peace Corps, can provide those key tenets. Minnesota Recovery Corps is a program dedicated to helping individuals stay in recovery. Recov |
