Resources
Field Site Coordinators
Field Site Coordinators (FSC) are located in 11 regions across the state. FSC's live in the community and serve as a vital role to our HSTA students, their families, teachers, local schools and the local resources to facilitate the connections between HSTA and the community. The FSC's are the bridge between the community and the state-wide HSTA program. Field Site Coordinators attend HSTA Local Governing Board meetings in their region, buy supplies for student projects, communicate with students' families, keep track of students' attendance and grades, lead local governing board meetings, and serve on the Joint Governing Board. They are an integral part of what makes HSTA a success.
Volunteers
HSTA students rely heavily on adult volunteers. The volunteers are usually parents; mentors, such as physicians, pharmacists, dentists and nurses; and people from the community around them.
The volunteers help with community-based programs, which consist of academic enrichment projects that help further develop the skills, emphasize observation, hypothesis formation, experimentation, analysis and communication.
All Local Governing Boards (LGB) and the Joint Governing Board (JGB) are made up of volunteers who live in the communities. The LGB and JGB play a big part in HSTA's policies and procedures.
This process of utilizing adult volunteer leaders to support youth learning and experiences has been extremely successful in HSTA. HSTA thanks all volunteers and appreciates all their help and feedback.
If you want to volunteer and become part of the HSTA family, please contact your local Field Site Coordinator.
