The 2009/2010 AmeriCorps team and partner programs

On September 1, R2LP's 34 AmeriCorps members headed for their respective assignments at early-care settings, libraries, pediatric clinics and the R2LP offices. This year, three members are working with the Project LAUNCH program – one at Hasbro Children's Hospital, one at St. Joseph's Hospital and a third at the Lifespan offices in the Coro Center. The two assigned to the hospitals will assist parents in waiting areas as they fill out assessments on their child's development. The member based in the Coro Center will tally and enter this data for use by the pediatricians.

Below is a full list of the 2009/2010 AmeriCorps members with their assignments. Prior to their work in these settings, they received a full month of training in early childhood education and development. Their service ends in late June.
