Community Enrichment Center Family Engagement VISTA (Year 2)
 
 
 
Our vision at the Community Enrichment Center (CEC) is to break the cycle of poverty and family violence. For 30 years, the CEC has been a partner in change to our Northeast Tarrant low-income neighbors. The CEC has continued to grow and expand our services to serve victims of family violence, homeless and low-income families and individuals across Tarrant County. Today, the CEC works directly with these families and individuals to move them out of crisis and into stability through employment readiness, high school equivalency, financial coaching, counseling, safe housing, food and basic necessities. The Family Engagement VISTA will identify current learning conditions, implement learning strategies, and leverage effective reading instruction to improve literacy and raise reading levels of children. The VISTA will work with CEC staff to design and implement specific best practice activities to successfully promote, engage, and educate neighbors in CEC Services. As a CEC VISTA, you will be part of a cohort coordinated by the VISTA North Texas project at Chisholm Trail RSVP, Inc. To learn more about CEC, visit www.thecec.org.
