*2023 YELLS Volunteer Engagement Specialist VISTA
 
 
 
Youth Empowerment through Learning, Leading, and Serving invites you to join our YELLS family and grow your skills as we create meaningful impact together! ********** We hope to welcome you to our Franklin Gateway Community in metro-Atlanta. Bring your communication and project management skills to inspire volunteers to support the education and empowerment of youth through our Mentoring and Afterschool programs. ********** The mission of Youth Empowerment through Learning, Leading, and Serving, Inc. (YELLS) is to empower youth to rise as active, healthy, and productive servant leaders within their community. We envision communities where youth have voice and value and ensure they possess the confidence, character, and collaborative networks needed to shape their world. YELLS serves the children and families of Franklin Gateway, a neighborhood in Marietta, Georgia, within 12 miles of the city of Atlanta. Our diverse community is composed of hard-working families facing generational and situational poverty. The goal of this VISTA project is to help ensure the youth and families of the Franklin Gateway community have the education and skills necessary to act as servant leaders who develop community-driven solutions for alleviating poverty. ********** The YELLS AmeriCorps VISTA Project will build capacity for the success of all YELLS initiatives, including the YELLS Mentoring Program, YELLS Afterschool Program, YELLS Community Action Café, and YELLS Community Garden. The YELLS Volunteer Engagement Specialist VISTA will accomplish this through developing a sustainable volunteer and partner recruitment and management system for YELLS programs.
