Keystone Community Services -- St. Paul VISTA Program

Keystone Community Service's mission is to strengthen the capacity of individuals and families to improve their quality of life. A core value guides all of our programming: to help individuals and families build resiliency and self-sufficiency. The combined youth programs of Keystone Community Service and the West 7th Community Center serve over 200 low income neighborhood youth ages 5-18 in three separate afterschool programs - West 7th Community Kids, the Hmong Youth Program and Youth Express. Community Kids, is a licensed and accredited youth development program at West 7th Community Center that provides social-emotional learning, youth leadership, service learning, and academic enrichment opportunities for youth in grades K-10. The Hmong Youth and Family Program, a highly culturally competent program that provides academic tutoring, enrichment activities and youth leadership at McDonough Community Center in St. Paul’s North End for youth in grades K-12. Youth Express, an innovative youth employment program that provides work readiness, leadership and employment opportunities for youth in grades 9-12 at multiple St. Paul sites. Together the three programs support low-income youth by providing access to high quality programs designed to boost and improve academic success and provide employment opportunities that connect older youth to career and future academic options. **This VISTA position is sponsored by the Saint Paul VISTA Program. Hosted in Mayor Chris Coleman's Office, the Saint Paul VISTA Program comprises a city-wide cohort of individuals -- placed at community organizations and schools -- dedicated to shaping the educational landscape for youth and families in Saint Paul.**
