AmeriCorps* VISTA Members: A Community Strengthening & Community Stabilization Project in Orlando, Florida

ONIC is seeking 1 outstanding individuals to each provide one year of service through Americorps*VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America).

ONIC's proposed youth after-school program (YAP)will operate to prevent and reduce the incidences of juvenile delinquency, crime, and other problem behaviors, improve community involvement and increase academic achievement and engagement. This program will operate as a holistic, community- and family-based approach to tackling the achievement between children in poverty-stricken communities and their more affluent peers. In addition to offering community-based tutoring & structured activities, YAP will innovate in addressing the factors in a student's home life that often impact academic success negatively: instability of housing, lack of food or clothing, unaddressed emotional or behavioral issues, unemployment, childcare challenges, & financial instability. The YAP will serve as a resource HUB with supportive activities, tutoring and academic enrichment. Structured sessions with learning enhancements will be combined with the ongoing Prodigy cultural arts classes to create HUBs where youth can learn and grow and their families can seek resources to sustain a positive family system.
