City Year Little Rock is enhancing its support for AmeriCorps members, current and future, with the help of two additions: Alexis Freeman, community partnership manager, and Marlie Mehu, learning and experience manager.
“We are proud to have a team with diverse perspectives and experiences, including many who have taught in local classrooms,” said Jennifer Cobb, senior vice president and executive director. “Alexis and Marlie understand the challenges students and schools face and will offer invaluable guidance to our AmeriCorps members and partners.”
Before returning to City Year Little Rock, Freeman was an admission recruitment coordinator for UA Little Rock, focusing on student outreach in Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri. She served as an AmeriCorps member with the education nonprofit during the 2019-2020 academic year. She is a graduate of the University of Arkansas.
Mehu previously taught English language arts at Sylvan Hills Middle School and was director of education for Huntington Learning Center in Little Rock and Brooklyn, New York. A first-generation college graduate, she holds a bachelor’s degree from the State University of New York Plattsburgh and is pursuing a master’s in teaching from the University of Central Arkansas.
