New Jersey State Library Recruiting AmeriCorps VISTA Member for Digital Literacy Program
The New Jersey State Library (NJSL) is seeking a Literacy Leader to work with our team on a multi-faceted statewide literacy program. This exciting opportunity is offered through AmeriCorps VISTA Literacy Leadership’s new Digital Literacy Track.
The VISTA member will join the NJSL+Partners Literacy Project team to assess the effectiveness of this statewide literacy program in an effort to provide digital literacy through two different program models. These include a Hub and Spoke concept (model 1) for providing basic and advanced digital literacy at public libraries, and an Access Navigator model (model 2) to provide basic digital literacy through rotating staff at public libraries. A fulsome evaluation conducted by a VISTA member will allow the model(s) to be adapted with an eye specifically toward improved effectiveness. The overarching result will be to improve program implementation of both models to best serve people in poverty and position people in poverty for workforce success
This yearlong position comes some great benefits:
- Personal and professional development.
- Training and support throughout service.
- An Education Award or a cash stipend at the end of service:
- Biweekly living stipend
- Opportunity to explore digital equity, education, nonprofit work, Adult Basic Education, social work or youth development as a career.
