Summer Associate AFS Skeels VISTA
We are a multi-purpose non-profit community center, providing after school tutoring, mentoring, youth group, summer youth program, adult/senior citizens activities, and daily nutritional meals for seniors sixty and older, and twice weekly for non-seniors and a general place for participants to spend quality time. The VISTA Summer Associates will collaborate with community partners to find age appropriate activities to build social, emotional self-esteem, educational activities to help negate summer learning loss. A great numer of our youth are reading below their grade level struggling with reading comprehension, low math skills, low test scores on the Ohio Mandated Tests, and have behavior problems, which is causing them out of school suspensions. Staff and volunteers collaborate with teachers weekly to help keep the students on track
