OHuddle is an innovative faith-based organization founded by local educators to engage students in a school-based model of 1:1 mentorship. OHuddle’s model has been celebrated by the Wayne County Community Foundation and Chamber as a “Worthy Works” recipient. OHuddle stands for Odyssey Huddle and our mission is to awaken youth to their unique value through hope filled relationships and one to one mentorship. Located in Wayne County Ohio, OHuddle VISTAs will enjoy a college town atmosphere with a historic downtown and a variety of boutique stores and restaurants. 60 minutes from Cleveland and 90 minutes from Columbus, Wooster boasts hiking and running trails and was named “Ohio’s Best Hometown” for the past two years running due to access to arts, culture, and affordable housing. OHuddle is seeking a VISTA member to expand OHuddle mentorship programming to Norwayne Local Schools and serve as a Site coordinator. The VISTA’s service will benefit students in poverty and trauma by providing them with a hope filled relationship through 1:1 mentorship. The ideal candidate is skilled at creative problem solving, data management, and research application to launch two new district mentorship sites.

We look forward to your participation in our regular self-care programs including motivational talks, yoga, massage, or medication sessions, and cooking /art therapy used to reduce the secondary-stress of our volunteer mentors.
