The program matches trained AmeriCorps members with children from age 3 to grade 3 who need an extra boost to catch up to grade level targets. Minnesota Reading Corps partners with school districts and pre-school agencies to place highly trained and professionally supported AmeriCorps members in early childhood education, Head Start, and K-3 classrooms. Reading Corps tutors are trained in specific research-based, literacy instructional protocols, and are supported by both site-based educational staff as well as Master Coaches who are among Minnesota's top literacy experts. With access to the latest research on reading intervention strategies, trained AmeriCorps members work one-on-one with students, as well as in small group and large group settings, to provide tailored interventions designed especially for each child so that they gain the literacy skills they need at a rate to get on track to read by third grade.ServeMinnesota has demonstrated the capacity to successfully design and implement large scale initiatives through our literacy program, Minnesota Reading Corps, in which AmeriCorps members provide research-based individualized literacy tutoring to students on a daily basis. The program has been identified as a national best practice by Target, United Way Worldwide and the Aspen Institute. In 2011-2012, 796 Minnesota Reading Corps tutors served nearly 24,000 children who need help building their literacy proficiency. In the most recent program evaluation, 80 percent of Reading Corps participants, all of whom were at significant risk for failure, passed Minnesota assessment tests. This surpassed the overall 78 percent pass rate for all Minnesota students. Additionally, in a matched sample study, Reading Corps participants were three times less likely to be referred to special education services. 5482846 5482846 AmeriCorps - AmeriCorps, also known as the domestic Peace Corps, provides opportunities for citizens to give to their communities and country each year. People who join AmeriCorps commit to a year of service in exchange for a modest living stipend and an education award that can be applied to past or future schooling. AmeriCorps is a real-life education and work experience wrapped into one. The AmeriCorps motto is "Get Things Done" and members do a wide range of things to fulfill that mission: They tutor and mentor youth, build affordable housing, teach computer skills, clean parks and streams, run after-school programs, help communities respond to disasters, and build the capacity of nonprofit groups to become self-sustaining. They also recruit, train and supervise community volunteers to extend and complement their community efforts. Since its creation in 1994, ServeMinnesota has mobilized nearly 10,000 AmeriCorps members who have trained and supported more than 300,000 volunteers. 1253386 1198996 Math Corps - Minnesota Math Corps is an AmeriCorps program modeled after the Reading Corps and is designed to help 4th-8th graders achieve proficiency in math, a critical gateway skill for high school graduation; college admission and college completion. Math Corps provides schools with a tool to bridge the gap between current math research and the capacity of districts to apply that research within their classrooms. Rigorously trained members 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. In 2011-2012, 65 Math Corps tutors served 1,400 students who need help building their math proficiency. In the most recent program evaluation, 73.6% of the students tutored by Minnesota Math Corps members demonstrated academic growth that exceeded the expected target rate of growth for their grade, as measured by the nationally-normed Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment. This means that students are catching up to their peers in the classroom and are making strong progress towards reaching proficiency. In addition, 116 students who had not met the proficiency standard on the state-administered MCA exam in the year prior to receiving Math Corps tutoring, moved to being proficient at the end of the year in which they were tutored. 585096 9933 20046042 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true false true false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false true 13 0 true 20 true false false false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false false X 25 25 false false false false false false false true true false false false true true true true true true true true false false MN X Lynn Lewis 6127461390 120 South 6th Street Suite 2260 Minneapolis MN 55402 Christine Wiegert 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sam Schuth 2.00 X 0 0 0 Judith Russell 2.00 X 0 0 0 Megan Remark 2.00 X 0 0 0 Nathan Prouty 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kera Peterson 2.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Rumpza 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rep Bev Scalze 2.00 X 0 0 0 Sakawdin Mohamed 2.00 X 0 0 0 David Metzen 2.00 X 0 0 0 Rep Andrea Kieffer 2.00 X 0 0 0 Corey Elmer 2.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Horner 2.00 X 0 0 0 Pamela Harris 2.00 X 0 0 0 Cal Larson 2.00 X 0 0 0 Brenda Cassellius 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Kelly 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Jayme Fanucci 2.00 X 0 0 0 Martha Jones Sichko 2.00 X 0 0 0 Keith Dixon 2.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Gotwalt Jr 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer DeJournett 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bradley Bourn 2.00 X 0 0 0 William Arendt 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Dave Beal 2.00 X 0 0 0 Audrey Suker 40.00 X 107378 0 8141 107378 8141 1 false false false 0 1133500 18200340 1728134 21061974 0 1362 1362 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Miscellaneous 611710 156795 156795 156795 21220131 158157 19137816 19137816 0 0 0 115519 73273 20924 21322 0 522236 333199 92299 96738 0 79688 46633 19048 14007 48476 28368 11587 8521 0 0 0 0 90000 90000 0 499724 353309 59020 87395 8206 8111 95 48265 17220 29180 1865 0 0 57957 57957 4381 1865 1716 800 0 62373 40598 18583 3192 0 0 2455 2455 4640 3708 932 Reasonable Accommodation 2156 2156 Board Expense 4341 3159 1182 Dues and MEMBERSHIPS 13344 2126 10401 817 EQUIPMENT 20596 1368 19139 89 1550 654 896 20723723 20046042 349925 327756 836063 1076029 0 2476021 2941873 30501 0 0 0 0 17786 22135 57849 57079 3225 770 0 0 0 0 3798 3798 3336893 4075106 75445 124151 1521893 1714992 1597338 1839143 X 277764 253318 1461791 1982645 1739555 2235963 3336893 4075106 496408 X false true true X true true X 9954968 12734822 15740154 18880386 21061974 78372304 0 0 9954968 12734822 15740154 18880386 21061974 78372304 78931 78293373 8177 3044 3825 2340 1362 18748 0 67595 83548 123987 145720 156795 577645 78968697 0.99140 0.99230 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false false false true 49500 false false 49500 false false 11543 10773 770 28954 28954 17352 17352 770 21220131 20723723 496408 496408 21220131 21220131 21220131 20723723 20723723 20723723 Part X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization has a tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and has adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, ASC 740-10.
