FWISD-FAC Family/Community Engagement VISTA Year 1 Job at AmeriCorps
The FWISD Family Action Center serves as change agents to provide East Fort Worth access to holistic cradle to career resources. Our vision is to inspire the community to become the cornerstone of engagement and student success. As a part of the FWISD Division of Equity and Excellence, we strive for a robust delivery of client wraparound services and referrals, primarily for residents residing in east Fort Worth, focusing on behavioral and physical health services, as well as community resources for food, shelter and job security. The focus is on students and families as well as individuals living in east and southeast Fort Worth, particularly those within the Eastern Hills and Dunbar high school attendance zones, which includes more than 20 schools and 15,000 students. The FAC operates similarly to the FWISD Family Resource Centers with a couple of difference: FAC staff adds valuable community resource assistance beyond behavioral health needs, and the FAC serves students, families and individuals who are not necessarily current FWISD clients. This includes pairing people up with services for rent and utility assistance programs, job openings, adult education training opportunities, food assistance, housing assistance, clothing and toiletries, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) applications and more. The FAC also offers online and in-person classes and seminars - called FAC-e Time Conversations - to help uplift, educate, inform, and, more importantly, empower people in the community to make positive changes in their lives. We invite subject matter experts to join us to provide the most up-to-date information designed to uplift and inform people who want to make positive changes.
