The Site-Specific Education and Food Security Development VISTA is an integral member of the community center. They partner closely with the site director, often the only other full-time staff member, to create successful programming for the community.
In our educational programs, they supplement CANs existing curriculum by learning CANs current curricula, learning childrens interests and needs, assessing and improving meals and snacks, and engaging with external groups and volunteers that enrich programming.
The member will increase the effectiveness and capacity of our food programs. This may include assessing needs, improving processes, creating new initiatives for the community, coordinating donations, and entering data into the Link2Feed system.
They will also research and implement strategies to help meet the growing food security needs in the community.
