The mission of the Alaska Afterschool Network is to support and strengthen afterschool programs that serve children, youth, and families throughout Alaska. Research shows that afterschool programs increase student attendance, grades, and graduation rates; decrease expulsions; increase self-esteem, causing a reduction in suicide; and build the protective factors needed for children to overcome trauma. The Alaska Afterschool Network AmeriCorps Program contributes to the mission by placing members at afterschool or summer programs in Alaska, where they serve as STEM Coaches for K-5 youth. STEM Coaches provide academic STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and SEL (social emotional learning) learning to K-5 youth.

They will offer STEM activities at their program at least once a week, Hours will include planning, preparation, and cleanup for each afterschool activity. STEM coaches will participate in program quality improvement, aided by training and coaching from Alaska Afterschool Network staff.

Finally, STEM Coaches participate in professional development and training in child and youth care, positive youth development, high-quality program facilitation strategies, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM.
