Four days a week you ll find Schuyler Baas drilling effective communication skills, English and writing at SouthTech Academy in Boynton Beach. I think AmeriCorps serves as sort of a safeguard for America s at-risk populations, Baas said. So that s what we re here doing so every child can succeed in life.
Skills she said these students use every day that, as they age, will only increase. From cosmetology to mechanical school to nursing or whatever they do, they ll be prepared, Baas said.
Since September 2020, Baas has served as a Literacy AmeriCorps member focused on improving the literacy rate of Palm Beach County children. SouthTech school principal Eileen Turenne said the graduation rate is proof it works.
