Public & School Partnership: AmeriCorps VISTA Program Director

The Public & School Partnership’s AmeriCorps VISTA program is recruiting a new Program Director (Project Coordinator III) to oversee, plan, and coordinate all day-to-day fiscal, administrative, and operational activities of the program. We are based at the Institute for Disability Research, Policy & Practice at Utah State University in Cache County, Utah! The Project Director will oversee a team of 2-3 office staff (hourly, benefited, and AmeriCorps member), up to 15 AmeriCorps VISTA members, and at least 25 community, university, and school-based partnerships.

In addition to our AmeriCorps VISTA program, PSP will begin an additional AmeriCorps State-funded planning grant project on August 1, 2024, to expand a tutoring and mentoring program for refugee youth in the community. This project builds upon the work that Athletics United has done to create and deliver a refugee tutoring program over the past few years. The Program Director will work closely with the Executive Director of Athletics United, the Cache Refugee and Immigrant Connection, and local schools and school districts. It is anticipated that this planning grant project will be funded as an AmeriCorps State program in future years with 10-25 AmeriCorps State members who provide direct tutoring services to refugee youth.
