STL TreeLC Program Design VISTA Member
 
 
 
STL TreeLC’s mission is to equip, educate, and empower residents to improve the health and vitality of the St. Louis urban tree canopy as well as the community. Hosting our first public events in 2019, we became a 501(c)3 nonprofit in 2021. Our pilot program has now pruned, watered, mulched, and monitored Benton Park West neighborhood trees for over a year. This VISTA position is in the Soulard neighborhood, so members will be able to socialize with AmeriCorps St. Louis members and staff while serving near downtown St. Louis. Our program partners with existing neighborhood anchor institutions to prioritize community goals and address tree related needs. VISTA will collaborate with partners and stakeholders to raise awareness and develop stronger infrastructure, processes, and partnerships to support effective urban forest management and community engagement efforts. The applicant should possess excellent communication skills, project and organizational skills, problem-solving, and the ability to work independently. This project offers a chance to lead an organization serving low-income communities. VISTA members will be regularly scheduled for networking opportunities and professional development training. The project starts August 28, 2023 and ends August 27, 2024. St. Louis is a great place to live with many free attractions and most destinations accessible without a car. For more information, email erin@stltreelc.org or visit stltreelc.org.
