MCM Youth Service Coordinator VISTA – (MAVA)
 
 
 
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 opened a newly renovated and expanded 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 low-income youth in Play Team, meeting the needs of the bigger, better, bolder museum. Through their service, Play Team members gain valuable 21st Century and STEAM skills that ensure success in higher education and the workforce. The third and final year of the project will focus on developing training tools, volunteer leadership roles, and program guides to ensure sustainability beyond the VISTA project. Additional benefits for VISTA service at Minnesota Children's Museum includes complimentary parking or Metro Transit passes, grocery gift cards totaling $300.00, free museum passes and memberships based on hours served, professional development funds, and mileage reimbursement for assignment associated travel. Car recommended but not required.
