Connection to purpose and goals of AmeriCorps program:
RIVA AmeriCorps seeks to build the capacity of nonprofit organizations which serve refugees and immigrants. Through
work readiness programs and capacity building projects, RIVA members provide culturally and linguistically appropriate
services which increase the economic self-sufficiency of refugee and immigrant communities while fostering integration,
and social cohesion. RIVA AmeriCorps may also work with emerging refugee- and immigrant-lead organizations to build
structures which will promote the sustainability of the organization.
The mission of the Iowa City Community School District is to ensure all students will become responsible, independent
learners capable of making informed decisions in a democratic society as well as in the dynamic global community; this is
accomplished by challenging each student with a rigorous and creative curriculum taught by a diverse, professional,
caring staff and enriched through the resources and the efforts of families and the entire community.
