Youth Service Coordinator-Minnesota Children's Museum(CSP)
 
 
 
Located in the heart of downtown St Paul, the mission of Minnesota Children's Museum is sparking children’s learning through play. Since we opened in 1981, community participation through volunteerism and access to all of Minnesota’s families regardless of income has been deeply imbedded in the organization. The Museum is dedicated to providing children with a fun, hands-on and stimulating environment to explore and discover. In June of 2017, we will open a newly expanded and renovated museum featuring 10 new galleries. Play Team, our teen volunteer corps, engages 180 youth in 9,000 hours of service each year, providing playful STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) and early childhood experiences to our visitors. The VISTA member will build organizational capacity to engage more St Paul youth in Play Team, meeting the needs of the bigger, better, and bolder. Through their service, Play Team members gain valuable 21st Century skills that ensure success in higher education and the workforce. Additional benefits for VISTA service at Minnesota Children's Museum includes complimentary parking or Metro Transit passes, professional development funds, free museum passes and memberships based on hours served, and mileage reimbursement for assignment associated travel. **This position is part of the City of St. Paul VISTA Cohort. This cohort provides a learning community of 20 fellow VISTA members all serving within Saint Paul. We provide bi-weekly professional development training and additional support throughout the year.
