Mount Union College (The University of Mount Union as of August 1st) will be hosting two Summer Associate VISTAs through our Huston-Brumbaugh Nature Center.
We are excited to announce that we've hired Cali Granger, a rising sophomore and biology major & Katy Borland, a rising senior and middle childhood education major.
Cali and Katy will be creating and facilitating daily activities for low-income children that touch on nutrition, health, and nature appreciation through the Alliance School District's Free Summer Lunch Program.
In addition, both of them will be helping to prepare and serve a free community meal every Thursday through Feed My Sheep Ministries where they will also be working with the Ministries' clients in the FMS community garden.
Plus they will be putting together activities and information that will be implemented and distributed at the Alliance Farmers Market, which currently accepts EBT and WIC.
Finally, they will be helping with the free children's programming at the Nature Center, as well as community events such as the Martin Luther King, Jr. Parade.
We hope to see Cali utilize her love of insects and knowledge of nature and Katy utilize her love of math and musical talent in the activities, projects, and events that they create. We also look forward to each of them spearheading other projects and initiatives that coincide with their passions and interests during their tenure as VISTAs!
