OneStar: Annette Strauss Institute Education Outreach VISTA
 
 
 
The Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Life (www.annettestrauss.org) at The University of Texas at Austin envisions a democracy where all citizens are informed, vote, and are actively involved in improving their communities. Through nonpartisan research, education, and outreach, the Institute seeks to understand and overcome obstacles to civic engagement. As a part of this work, the Institute created Speak! Up! Speak Out! (SUSO), a youth action civics initiative middle and high school students that teaches young people about their communities and helps them to discover the many ways they can make a difference. Over the course of a semester, participating students work in teams to identify community problems and needs, craft innovative solutions to address them, and present their findings to community leaders at a civic fair competition. The Institute is seeking a 40 hour/week AmeriCorps VISTA to build the capacity of the Speak Up! Speak Out! (www.speakupspeakout.org) program. Join the Institute team to become a part of the civic engagement movement!
