*St. Louis Arts Chamber of Commerce Curriculum Development VISTA - FT

The Curriculum Development VISTA member will build the capacity of St. Louis Arts Chamber of Commerce by developing and implementing environmental education programs and organizational promotional materials for residents of historically underserved communities in St. Louis City, Missouri. As a result of the VISTA member's service, residents will gain increased knowledge and skills to improve environmental health and address social determinants of health in their communities, the organization will have enhanced educational resources to promote its mission and programs, and the capacity to reach and serve more communities will be expanded. This project addresses poverty by equipping residents with the knowledge and tools to improve their environment, enhance their health, and advocate for change, ultimately contributing to breaking the cycle of poverty in their communities.
