Wrap Around Service Facilitator-UWCSRA
Project Unite seeks to support students identified by the schools as living in households below the poverty level, transitioning to the next grade level as unprepared, and/or where other barriers to success exist. Wraparound supports are required to support children struggling to overcome these barriers. The Wraparound Support Program facilitates partnerships between students, schools, family, and community stakeholders to enhance students' socio-emotional well-being while assisting in their transition to post-secondary life. Project Unite will support the development of student life "centers" within selected schools where needed services can be offered by volunteers or qualified faculty for the under-resourced student population.
Member Duties :
AmeriCorps VISTAs will find ways to increase students' educational success in Columbia County schools, Richmond County schools, and local non-profit agencies. The VISTA service will collect data from students and parents/guardians to determine the barriers to academic, social, and emotional well-being and success. Assess student needs through interviews, surveys, and data to identify additional community resources, set up processes for identifying academically and behaviorally at-risk students, and align services to student needs. Develop programs and initiatives to meet the needs of students by reaching out to community organizations to provide needed programs or create them from the ground up and finding funding to support those new programs and initiatives for sustainability. Set up procedures for students to receive food, clothing, and other supplies as needed. Collaborate with the district homeless liaison for families experiencing homelessness.
