PAVE AmeriCorps Vision

At PAVE AmeriCorps, our vision is a community where no matter a person’s circumstance, that person can learn, grow, and succeed.

PAVE AmeriCorps Mission

Our mission is to ensure that students are given the tools to succeed personally and academically throughout school; that members of the community are aware of and able to access needed resources; and to increase awareness of needs so that any community in which we are present becomes an overall better place because of our service.

PAVE AmeriCorps Values

• The core reason PAVE AmeriCorps exists is to lessen the effects of poverty and to improve the lives of the people in the communities in which we serve. We will always ask ourselves, “How will this decision affect our Program, AND how will this decision affect our community?”
  

• We will seek long-term, positive impacts for our community instead of short-term impacts for the Program, individual, or organization we serve.
  
• Our message will be consistent, positive, and passionate. We CAN make a difference. We WILL make a difference.
  
• We will strive to perform accurately and thoroughly instead of quickly. We will value quality over quantity.
  
• We will be the change we want in our community. We will model the behavior we want to see in others by the decisions we make and the actions we take. To that end, Members and Staff will always perform professionally and strive towards excellence. We will exhibit kindness and inclusiveness even in difficult situations. We acknowledge that it is only through team work within our Program and within our community that our goals will be accomplished.
  
• We believe that people often know the answers they seek, but fear failure. We will inspire and encourage people to draw on wisdom and resources they have gained through experience, to embrace what they know, and to build new strengths upon old strengths.
  
• The systems we teach and utilize within our Program will push people to their highest potential but be simple enough that they can be maintained without ongoing consultation or other assistance.

These members help communities tackle pressing problems while mobilizing millions of volunteers for the organizations they serve. Since 1994, more than 980,000 Americans have provided more than 1.2 billion hours of service to their communities and country through AmeriCorps. For more information, visit NationalService.gov.
