Citizen Schools AmeriCorps VISTA | Volunteer Coordinator
 
 
 
Citizen Schools (CS) empowers schools, districts, and communities to work together to create and sustain authentic experience-based learning opportunities. The CS AmeriCorps VISTA Fellowship is designed to increase access for K-12 students to authentic, transformative learning opportunities. The aim is to fortify community bonds, improve student outcomes, and broaden the impact of CS initiatives, aligning closely with VISTA's mission to create ladders of opportunities for communities to fight poverty. VISTA members commit to a one-year term of national service with Citizen Schools and partnering host sites. The CS AmeriCorps VISTA Fellowship model builds on the organization’s unique 25+ years of experience curating top notch service year experiences. VISTAs serve in a capacity building role where they have an impact that goes beyond their one-year term. VISTAs are recruited, trained, and coached by Citizen Schools to effectively achieve the goals of the program. VISTAs join a national cohort of service members that collaborate to support their host sites in building vibrant volunteer networks, conducting community-based outreach and organizing public showcases of student learning.
