Camp RYSE AmeriCorps
Refugee Youth Solidarity through Education (RYSE) is a Rhode Island-based nonprofit that fosters literacy, confidence, and community among K-12 refugee youth through hands-on, joyful summer learning and leadership development. RYSE values inclusivity, equity, and cultural and educational empowerment, striving to create a tailored and supportive learning environment that uplifts the diverse identities and experiences of refugee youth. Camp RYSE AmeriCorps will unite staff, volunteers, and AmeriCorps members to run Camp RYSE, a five-week summer day camp that provides free literacy, STEM, and enrichment activities to approximately 100 multilingual learners, ages 5-14. AmeriCorps members will support this project by working alongside RYSE staff to plan, coordinate, and facilitate educational and enrichment activities, evaluate camper progress, and promote family and community engagement. By taking on these duties, AmeriCorps members help expand the program's reach and ensure its positive impact on participants. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
