2017 Centro Hispano's Volunteer and Event Planning VISTA

In the midst of one of the most cultural diverse neighborhoods in Madison, you will find Centro Hispano, one of the largest non-profits serving the ever changing Latino community for more than 30 years. Centro's goal is to improve the quality of life for Latinos and others living in Dane County by empowering youth, strengthening families, and engaging the community. Centro Hispano is going through an organizational awakening and new leadership, which are fueling its momentum to improve and expand current programs. To achieve such ambitious tasks we are going to reshape our current volunteer and event planning program. The goal is to develop a tangible, efficient, and sustainable program which will streamline Centro's capacities to recruit, train, retain, and empower volunteers. This position will have unique opportunity to be involved with all programs, events of Centro and fully connect with other community organizations. In addition, the VISTA will work closely with the Marketing Development Specialist and the Community Engagement Specialist in developing and promoting fundraising activities to help diversify funding sources. This VISTA position will be high pace and full of opportunities to be creative and think-out-side the box.
