26 AZ Serve VISTA - CommunityShare Outreach & Development

26 AZ Serve VISTA - CommunityShare Outreach & Development CommunityShare increases the ability of public school teachers to connect with volunteers in the community that can speak on their career and expertise, providing transformative experiences to students, with a focus on low‑income populations. Through real‑world learning experiences with community members, students will become more academically engaged, develop socio‑emotional skills, be better prepared for college and career pathways, and expand their network of caring. The VISTA member will build capacity and systems to recruit and connect with community members from diverse areas. These community members will serve as volunteer mentors, project collaborators, internship and job shadow hosts, guest speakers and more in PreK‑12 classrooms. Member Duties The AmeriCorps VISTA member will create systems to streamline CommunityShare processes.
