VISTA* Career Pathways Program Development VISTA

Goodwill VISTA Career Pathways Program Development VISTA

Join to apply for the Goodwill VISTA Career Pathways Program Development VISTA role at Ameri Corps.

Cooperative Middle School (CMS), located in Stratham, NH, is developing an after-school program in partnership with the Seacoast School of Technology. This initiative will provide middle school students with opportunities to explore fields such as construction technology, welding, health sciences, and veterinary sciences, helping students connect school engagement with long-term career success. The VISTA member will build organizational capacity by creating the systems, processes, and templates necessary for CMS to sustain and expand the program after the completion of service.

The goal of this project is to design, implement, and document a replicable after-school career pathways program that increases student engagement, inspires hope for future opportunities, and contributes to breaking cycles of poverty through education and workforce readiness. The VISTA member will create all necessary program frameworks—including instructor recruitment processes, student registration systems, communication workflows, and evaluation templates—so that the program can continue annually without VISTA support.

Following the VISTA’s service year, CMS staff will be able to operate the program using the systems and documentation left in place, ensuring continuity and growth.
