Description
Join the fight for education equity by strengthening and expanding tutoring programs for those schools most in need! YEC is a academic support program that brings community organizations and volunteers together; we work closely with schools to recruit and train volunteers to work alongside teachers in classrooms of 3rd-6th graders on reading, writing, math and science. Your service year will be focused on supporting recruitment and retention efforts, promoting the program through media outlets and setting the program on a sustainable foundation by formalizing processes and preparing the position duties to be handed off to staff once your service ends. The successful candidate should be friendly in-person and on the phone, eager to learn, be attentive to details, be moderately creative, and enthusiastic about trying new things, especially in the area of STEAM - Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math.
For over 25 years, HandsOn Greater Phoenix has worked with nonprofits, Title I schools, neighborhood associations and government entities to assess and meet the volunteer needs of the Greater Phoenix area. The HandsOn VISTA program supports 10~ VISTA members at multiple placement sites across the valley. Our VISTA members enable our community service partners to expand capacity and build lasting infrastructure by creating the processes and tools needed to effectively access and utilize valuable resources. HandsOn VISTA members will improve their own capacity for leading communities during and beyond their terms of service by developing their knowledge, skills, and abilities related to volunteer mobilization, civic engagement, and other areas. In addition to the site-specific work of the individual role all of our VISTA members: participate in 2 AmeriCorps National Days of Service, lead projects at 2 HandsOn community service days, attend monthly VISTA team trainings with the other HandsOn VISTA members, and lead a monthly community volunteering opportunity.
