Triple C's October Newsletter

Triple C's Mission: To provide statewide leadership in mobilizing resources, services, and partnerships that strengthen Ohio colleges and universities’ capacity to educate students for civic and social responsibility and to improve community life.

Introducing Triple C's 2024-2025 Student Resource Center AmeriCorps Members!


We are excited to introduce the 2024-2025 cohort of AmeriCorps members who will be serving on college and university campuses across the state of Ohio through the Student Resource Centers (SRC) program. These dedicated individuals will spend the year supporting students by connecting them to vital campus, community, state, and federal resources that help eliminate barriers to academic success. 


Student Resource Centers is a pivotal initiative aimed at addressing both academic and non-academic challenges - such as housing, food insecurity, mental health, and more - that can prevent students from reaching their full potential. Our AmeriCorps members will be integral in fostering growth and development of SRCs on campuses, acting as approachable and knowledgeable advocates for students, ensuring they receive the support they need to succeed.
