The mission of Mentor North is to celebrate youth and support their families through one-on-one mentorship and community engagement. One-on-one mentorship helps expand access to relationships, experiences, and support systems that foster stability and long-term opportunity for young people in the Twin Ports of Duluth, MN, and Superior, WI. The goal is to create a vibrant mentorship community by connecting youth with adult mentors in a safe, supportive environment for youth to thrive and develop essential life skills. The Eco3 VISTA Corps focuses on addressing poverty by addressing food access and systems, government policy, community development, education, health and wellness, creative placemaking, energy security, and other related issues. Eco3 VISTA members collaborate with organizations deeply rooted in the community to develop solutions to community challenges by leveraging resources, building partnerships, expanding reach, and enhancing organizational efficiency.
The Digital Systems & Strategy Coordinator VISTA will build Mentor North’s organizational capacity by assessing, improving, and documenting internal systems for data management, reporting, project management, and communication. The member will 1) Assess current digital infrastructure to identify efficiency gaps and recommend strategies and tools that align with organizational needs and long-term program sustainability; 2) Develop and document improved digital systems and create comprehensive, user-friendly resources to ensure staff can sustainably maintain these systems beyond the VISTA service term; and 3) Organize internal digital assets and develop workflows that improve the organization’s ability to share the impact of mentorship through consistent storytelling and outreach.
