Our schools respond to the needs of families in innovative ways so that students are better able to succeed. As a member of OCS’ School Support team, the VISTA will support a cohort of 316+ schools in need of tools and resources to alleviate the stressors and challenges students from low-income communities experience. We seek a candidate that will be committed to ensuring that we partner with schools and community members to address the needs of the whole child, and who can support schools in creating welcoming and nurturing environments where all students can thrive and achieve their full potential. Further, the ideal VISTA candidate will be resourceful, proactive, passionate about supporting youth in urban public schools, and a fearless leader who believes in creating a more equitable school system for all students. This VISTA position is a part of the NYC VISTA program, a group of 25+ VISTA members serving in New York City Government agencies supporting their anti-poverty work. The NYC VISTA program is administered by NYC Service, a division of the Office of the Mayor.
