MCNCE VISTA- Youth Outreach Specialist

The Montana International Choral Festival (MICF) is a Missoula-based nonprofit that brings choirs from around the world to perform, learn, and connect through shared repertoire, workshops, and community events. The Youth Outreach Initiative goal is to expand access to the Montana International Choral Festival’s artistic and cross-cultural experience by partnering with summer youth programs in Missoula and surrounding communities to create pathways for participation. The goal of this project is to alleviate poverty by helping marginalized individuals and underserved communities to broaden their horizons and develop skills essential for economic mobility and a sense of belonging. For the individuals engaged through the Youth Program Initiative, musical exposure leads to the development of artistic and professional skills. This VISTA project will focus on expanding enrichment opportunities for children and young people from underserved backgrounds, thereby increasing participants' engagement in social networking and establishing mutual support within their community. Creating and identifying these support networks can translate into employment opportunities within numerous fields, fostering entrepreneurship and offering a path out of poverty for talented individuals and their communities. Social capital is one of the strongest predictors of upward mobility. Montana Campus Network for Civic Engagement (MCNCE) serves as the intermediary for this project. MCNCE is a coalition of colleges and universities dedicated to fostering civic engagement, service learning, and volunteerism across Montana. Led by CEOs from participating institutions, MCNCE works to improve community life and educate students on civic and social responsibility, preparing them to be thoughtful, compassionate, and engaged leaders.
