The Zone Project Youth Leadership & Achievement VISTA Year 2

The Northeast Community Center (NECC) strives to improve the quality of life for residents of Northeast Spokane, with emphasis on social, health, economic, educational and recreational needs. NECC is the backbone organization for The Zone Project, a place-based collective impact initiative that builds upon strengths and aligns resources and programs across multiple organizations and sectors to affect transformative, measurable change in the 8 neighborhoods of Northeast Spokane that feed students into Shaw and Garry Middle Schools. Our vision is strong neighborhoods where youth are safe, residents are engaged, and all families can thrive. Through resident engagement and strong organizational partnerships, we are implementing a 10-year plan to improve health, housing, safety, education and economic opportunity in NE Spokane. This is the second year of a VISTA project to develop capacity and increase effectiveness of multi-partner initiatives that bridge opportunity and grow educational achievement for low-income children and youth in Northeast Spokane, thus breaking the cycle of poverty. We will know we have been successful by measuring student success in reaching specific milestones the community has identified, such as Kindergarten readiness, graduating high school on-time, developing specific career skills, and social emotional attributes. This position is in Eastern Washington, about 20 miles west of Idaho and 110 miles south of the Canadian border. Benefits include a living allowance of $472.22 biweekly. VISTA Members who successfully complete the year receive their choice of either a Segal Education Award (valued at approximately $6,000) or an $1,800 cash stipend. AmeriCorps VISTA is also the only AmeriCorps program where you can earn federal non-competitive eligibility, giving you an edge in the federal hiring process.
