CO Youth Engagement & Community Organizer -San Luis Valley
AmeriCorps, Littleton, CO, United States
Overview
The Youth MOVE CO VISTA program is a partnership with local nonprofits to address poverty and the needs of youth at risk of or currently unhoused. This VISTA project will build the essential bridges to adulthood for transition‑age youth (ages 14‑25) by expanding resources and enhancing services for youth who are at risk of or currently unhoused. As a member you will guide the implementation and development of outreach and navigation services for young people and help the community establish strategy and increase awareness about the needs of young people. Vista members will create local Youth MOVE chapters to engage young people as key partners in addressing service deficiencies, increase youth‑informed programming development, and build better understanding between adult service providers and the young people they serve.
Member Duties VISTA members will work with local youth ages 14‑25 and partners to map and identify developmentally appropriate resources for youth with behavioral health challenges to improve access and enhance services. They will develop evaluation tools, data frameworks, and system resources that strengthen youth‑informed program improvement using the Y‑VAL. Additionally, they will improve local capacity by developing a Youth MOVE chapter and local volunteers to provide youth peer support, increasing engagement of transition‑age youth and resulting in improved well‑being, education, and employment outcomes.
