*SLACO B.E.S.T Approach VISTA- FT

The B.E.S.T. Approach VISTA will collaborate with several community partners to develop an intervention framework to stabilize highly distressed neighborhoods. Starting in the Kings Ville neighborhood the VISTA Volunteer will develop protocols to make this approach scalable as an intervention strategy throughout other North St. Louis neighborhoods. The primary goal is to leverage the potential of neighborhood schools as vital components of community life, creating a comprehensive blueprint to address various community needs.
