VISTA Kid Spirit Elementary Readiness Developer

Prioritize systematically excluded children and families to create affordable preschool to 1st-grade physical activity and school readiness activities. The VISTA project will help remove socio-economic barriers to participation in schoolyear and summer Kid Spirit programs. Lower-income students are most likely to fall behind in school due to summer loss, this is to bridge that gap. Build programs for this specific age group will allow extended activity days for working families.

Build strategic partnerships and networks that center underserved and historically marginalized communities, advancing organizational recommendations that improve program accessibility and contribute to long-term economic and educational equity. Enhance Kid Spirit’s organizational reach by expanding partnerships with childcare providers, family education programs, and ERDC, creating stronger systems that reduce participation barriers for families. Increase Kid Spirit’s organizational capacity by formalizing volunteer and intern pipelines through higher education partnerships, strengthening internal support for curriculum design, instructional materials, and program implementation.
