Carleton is hosting a VISTA coordinator to build and expand on science and higher education access programs that work with local middle school and high school youth who might otherwise face challenges in going to college. The VISTA will be expected to manage and strengthen current projects such as the collaboration with the TORCH initiative in the Northfield School District and science education programs occurring in Northfield and Faribault. This person will be expected to coordinate with community partners as well as assist and manage Carleton student tutors and volunteers. In addition, the VISTA will be working to grow the Carleton component of a collaborative project with Riverland Community College where Carleton TA’s support local students taking online courses at Riverland. There will be close collaboration with Carleton’s ACE and ACT offices, which will work to support the VISTA in this unique and exciting position. Questions, please contact Adrienne Falcon.
