Women's Outreach and Advancement Coordinator VISTA
As the Women’s Outreach and Advancement Coordinator VISTA at Women of the World, your goal will be to produce effective strategies, policies, and procedures for future staff members to utilize in fulfilling WoW’s responsibilities in respect to their three programs of Community Development, Customized Service, and Economic Empowerment. To support these efforts, you will focus on developing resources and pathways for volunteer management, community partnerships, social media management, client-focused entrepreneur and career advancement capacity development, and event marketing. The ideal candidate will have interest in refugee services, community outreach, volunteer management, and organizational capacity building. The VISTA will research and consolidate resources for community outreach and volunteer engagement, create training and evaluation pathways for organization staff, and develop community partnerships to offer clients access to comprehensive, high-quality empowerment services. The VISTA member's work will directly impact Women of the World's capacity to serve women from all nations through customized service, economic empowerment, and community development. The Women’s Community Outreach and Advancement VISTA is one of ten AmeriCorps VISTA members involved in the Utah Refugee VISTA Project (URVP). Our VISTAs serve at six sites across the Salt Lake Valley, but still work closely with one another. URVP VISTAs can expect professional development, mentorship, and support from AmeriCorps and their host organizations. Serving in Salt Lake City, there is always something new to do! From international film festivals to cultural celebrations and abundant access to year-round outdoor recreation, there's something for everyone. Please reach out to Rachel Thornton, our VISTA Leader, at rachelthornton@utah.gov with any questions about the position, AmeriCorps VISTA, or the Utah Refugee VISTA Project at large.
