The goal of this particular position is to develop partnerships, referral systems, and advising processes that will contribute to the successful completion of 8th grade, aid in the transition to high school, and ultimately provide ongoing 9th-12th grade mentoring as part of a comprehensive college access strategy.

The AmeriCorps VISTA will report directly to the Lindy Scholars Program Director.
