TechMission Corps Wiki

All TechMission Corps members are required to present a project at the end of their term of service, which AmeriCorps requirements call a "replicable project." This project represents the culmination of the member's term of service in the community, outlining what the member has done so that the next person to serve can build upon what has already been developed.

Look in this section of the wiki to find field-tested curricula and program resources, as well as best practices for running after-school programs, teen programs, and adult education (ESL) programs.

Shasta's Story: "...working with urban youth is not only my calling but my passion as well."

Shasta Cole serves as a TechMission Corps Member at Breakthrough Urban Ministries in Chicago, Illinois

My name is Shasta Cole. I am an AmeriCorps member serving at Breakthrough Urban Ministries on the west side of Chicago. I work as an after school program coordinator with youth K-8. When I was asked to write a story about my service year, I was immediately hit with many different memories of working with my children over the past year. It is really hard to put down in words the many things I’ve learned and experienced in just one year.
