Great Strides-Digital Wish Comm Service Coordinator-VT

The Great Strides Rural Education Corps is a Goodwill Industries of NNE AmeriCorps Program which places members in rural Middle and High Schools in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont in order to increase student education attainment through: 1) Mentoring programs and increased mentor relationships, 2) Academic Support, 3) Service Learning opportunities, and 4) Outreach to the community, such as connecting with businesses, other schools, resources. The Great Strides program will seek to increase the number of youth who have improved their school attendance over the course of the AmeriCorps program's involvement with the student, the number of students graduating from high school on time with a diploma and the number of students entering post-secondary institutions. www.goodwillnne.org. Digital Wish is on a mission to solve technology shortfalls in classrooms. The technology currently available in schools is woefully inadequate for the task of preparing students for the 21st century workforce, enabling smooth post-secondary transition, and ensuring future economic development. It is time to bring together educators, administrators, parents, community members, politicians, and business leaders in a statewide school modernization initiative that can define the root cause, identify new sources of funding, and develop transparent implementation systems. This initiative is designed to trigger a community-wide movement to modernize our schools, and in doing so, rally connected communities that will support our future workforce. Accepting application until filled.
