City of St. Paul VISTA Leader

VISTA members commit a year of their lives to help close the education opportunity gap and support the education goals of the City of Saint Paul. Specifically, the Saint Paul VISTA Program has the following purposes: (1) Improve the quality and depth of learning opportunities available to youth in Saint Paul; and (2) Increase access to high-quality learning opportunities for all Saint Paul children, especially at-risk and vulnerable youth. VISTA members contribute to these goals by building capacity at their host organizations. Capacity building is undertaken through indirect service projects in non-profit agencies, schools, and government entities across the City. Throughout their year of service, VISTA members work to ensure that Saint Paul youth have access to high quality learning opportunities. Members focus on projects in four core program areas: 1. Expanding early childhood education and literacy programs so that all children enter school ready to learn. 2. Enhancing formal and informal learning opportunities for Saint Paul students, including before, during and after school. 3. Informing and preparing students for post-secondary educational and professional opportunities. 4. Engaging parents, families and the community to support learning and youth success. *Applicants MUST have successfully completed one term as an AmeriCorps member prior to starting the VISTA Leader position.
