This VISTA position aims to fight-poverty in the Brown county region by developing and expanding support for college students, particularly low income and first-generation college students with care responsibilities and heavy employment burdens through a second-year and transfer program. The VISTA will pilot a program for second-year and transfer students and assist with creation of a Civic Engagement Center with an explicit focus on equity. Building on an existing UWGB program, GPS, which focuses on first-year students, this VISTA position will help to create a sustainable program for second-year and transfer students rooted in civic engagement and community-based learning. This program will meld cohort building and culturally relevant pedagogy with access to mentors and service-opportunities in Brown County. The biweekly living allowance for this position is $472.22 in Brown County, WI. In addition to the benefits listed, the host site will provide conference attendance, and other professional development opportunities.
