AmeriCorps ACCESS Project

The ACCESS program, based at UNC Greensboro’s Center for New North Carolinians, places AmeriCorps members with local nonprofits to support immigrant and refugee families in employment, integration, and education. With employment, members assist individuals with creating resumes, applying for jobs, preparing for interviews through mock sessions, and understanding workplace culture and expectations. They also offer employment-related case management, helping clients build the skills and confidence to secure and retain jobs. Integration services typically include case management, assistance with obtaining IDs, navigating public transportation, accessing health and human services, learning English, and other wraparound services. Members also respond to emerging needs to help immigrants and refugees successfully integrate into their new communities. As for education, members support K–12 students with homework help and other academic needs at the after-school programs. They engage parents to become active participants in their children’s education and help recruit volunteers to strengthen the overall support network. They also coordinate enrichment activities during the summer, including field trips and other educational programming. Members receive professional development on a variety of topics, including Cultural Awareness, Professional Interpretation, and Immigration Law, among others. They also receive support throughout their term from the program staff and their site supervisors. Members typically exit the program with valuable personal and professional growth, along with transferable skills that can be applied to future careers and education. Our AmeriCorps members come from various backgrounds. They represent different ages, economic experiences, and educational paths. Despite their differences, all ACCESS members share the common goal of making a meaningful impact in their communities.
