Summer Associate - Austin Creative Reuse Education Programs

The City of Austin AmeriCorps VISTA Program works with City departments and local nonprofits to build capacity, in order to provide resources and services to the Austin neighborhoods and communities that may otherwise be left behind by Austin's historic disparities and future growth. The AmeriCorps members serving with the City of Austin AmeriCorps VISTA Program work in such diverse fields as education, health, legal services, and housing to cover the myriad ways poverty affects these neighborhoods and communities. Austin Creative Reuse (ACR) supports local needs by assisting the community in diverting usable school supplies and creative materials from the landfill and making those materials accessible to (among others) local schools, educators and nonprofit partners that serve area students, thus improving students' access to high quality educational experiences. There is a growing depth of research over the last decade demonstrating the role of arts education in improving outcomes for low income K-12 students.
