These three schools were selected based on their needs as low income schools with high dropout rates. A strong candidate would possess the following skills and interest: passion for changing educational outcomes, strong relationship building skills, organizational skills, team work, interest in independent research and willingness to learn as you go. The VISTA’s duties will include but are not limited to: conducting a landscape analysis on local and regional service learning opportunities for middle school students, building and cultivating relationships with community and school members, determining best evaluation practices for volunteer effectiveness and positive youth development, coordinating across departments to build volunteer strategy and engaging key stakeholders.
