Resilience Corps
The Program
The Resilience Corps Learning Pathway program aims to accelerate learning growth among high-need K-12 students in San José by employing qualified part-time Resilience Corps Associates. In March 2021, Former Mayor Sam Liccardo launched Resilience Corps, a jobs program for young adults that focuses on five critical areas of community resilience. One of those critical areas is overcoming the learning loss of struggling students.
To meet that challenge, the City of San Jose appointed the San José Public Library to lead the development and implementation of the Resilience Corps Learning Pathway.
Through this program, the San Jose Public Library Foundation has been a key partner in the work to accelerate learning growth among high-needs K-12 students, providing administration as the employee of record and program partner and participant management.
Applications Will Open in the Summer
