Internal Coach Information

All AmeriCorps programs require a Site Supervisor (called an “Internal Coach” for Early Learning Corps). This is a staff member of the service site or district/agency, and cannot be another AmeriCorps member. The time commitment of the Internal Coach must be carefully considered and planned to ensure a successful partnership with Early Learning Corps. On average, Internal Coaches provide 6-9 hours of coaching and support per tutor per month.

If you do not know who that is at this moment, please select “designate at a later time” and a staff member will work with you to identify this person prior to May 1st. Otherwise, select "Enter Internal Coach Info" and please fill in the information below.
