The Spirit of Excellence AmeriCorps Program was first funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2000. The program recruits part-time “members” who commit to a minimum of 900 hours of service over a one-year period. Members serve as one-on-one tutors providing supplemental academic assistance to children in the Guilford County school system. In addition, members recruit volunteers for BCDI-G, and facilitate and participate in community events and other service projects. AmeriCorps members also benefit from trainings provided throughout the service year designed to promote personal development and a lifelong commitment to a strong ethic of service and civic responsibility.

The Black Child Development Institute's Spirit of Excellence AmeriCorps program welcomes all applicants who meet these qualifications, have a sincere desire to help children, and are committed to community service.
