In addition to Academy Prep Lakeland’s full-time academic and Centers of Excellence faculty, Academy Prep partners with the Notre Dame Mission volunteers to serve as an AmeriCorps service site.  Annually, 5-7 AmeriCorps Teaching Fellows call Academy Prep home. They live on campus in comfortable, spacious, fully-furnished apartments, with a stipend, rent, and utilities covered by Academy Prep Lakeland. AmeriCorps Teaching Fellows are an integral part of our school: they chaperone field trips, assist in serving and supervising meals, and teach unique enrichment classes. Academy Prep’s specialists from AmeriCorps come to the organization with a wide range of talents, backgrounds, and areas of expertise.

AmeriCorps is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service, an independent federal agency whose mission is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. AmeriCorps provides part and full-time members to community organizations and public agencies to create and expand programs that build capacity and ultimately bring communities out of social and economic distress. In addition to having rent and utilities covered, AmeriCorps members receive a bi-weekly stipend, and a significant education scholarship at the conclusion of the service year.
