The YLO VISTA will support the Alliance's youth leadership work, the development of youth-facing workshops, and resources for the Consortia project. The Alliance seeks applicants who are aligned with the program mission, thrive in team-based environments, demonstrate initiative and strong organizational skills, can be flexible and creative, and have a solutions-oriented mindset. Special skills may include youth leadership and youth development experience, some experience with peer-to-peer learning models, facilitation and/or teaching experience, and public speaking.
