On Track Academy Youth Entrepreneurial Coordinator Year 2
 
 
 
The Spokane Public Schools' On Track Academy is a credit completion program designed to provide at risk students high levels of interactive and relevant learning opportunities, a close look at career options and paths to college and training after graduation. At the Academy, kids are looked at as individuals with instructors helping them figure out what tools and opportunities they need to be successful and meet the same learning targets as other students in order to graduate high school and succeed in future careers. Their partnership with the Spokane Skills Center allows the students to learn about careers they are passionate about as they earn college credits. This is a great opportunity to positively impact the lives of students who might not otherwise graduate from high school without the programs the On Track Academy provides and furthermore helps set them onto a career path that they are passionate about. The students at the Academy face adversity in many different ways; they come from a neighborhood with one of the highest poverty rates in Washington State. The VISTA selected for this position will receive a living stipend of $11,676 before taxes
