Program Development VISTA, Andy Roddick Foundation
 
 
 
The mission of the Andy Roddick Foundation is "to work with our community to expand opportunities for young people to learn, thrive and succeed." Through high-quality afterschool activities developed in cooperation with the Austin Independent School District, as well as an acclaimed six-week summer program, investing in innovative summer activities, and other joint initiatives with key groups throughout the city, we are creating new chances for all kids to grow in literacy, STEM, art, and sports — all during months and times of day when statistics show they’re typically most at risk and falling behind. The Foundation is in the midst of a growth and expansion plan with the desire to partner with more schools and increase investments in out-­of-school time efforts. It piloted its summer learning program in 2014 in one school, Pecan Springs Elementary, and currently assessing the feasibility of adding a fourth school partner. This expansion will require the Foundation to increase its capacity in the Program Department. We are seeking a VISTA member who can help increase our can help increase the Foundation's capacity in development and program improvement. Within the Program Department, the Foundation needs to increase its capacity to recruit, manage and retain volunteers, enhance program alumni connections, develop a student database, and assist with quality and outcomes tracking and management.
