Individuals who work with Impact Alabama spend a year of service after graduation at a unique,
nationally recognized organization fighting poverty in Alabama. Impact seeks highly motivated,
talented graduates to fill full-time AmeriCorps positions that implement and oversee three
nationally unique initiatives based upon a collaboration with twenty colleges across the state of
Alabama: FocusFirst, SaveFirst, and CollegeFirst. FocusFirst trains college students to provide
high-tech vision screenings and follow-up care to preschool-age children in Head Starts and day
cares in low-income rural and urban areas throughout Alabama. SaveFirst trains college students
to provide free tax preparation services and opportunities for economic improvement to working
families in Alabama. CollegeFirst trains college and graduate students to help implement a Pre-
AP summer academic enrichment program for high school students enrolled in AP math and
science courses.
