ACAM Opportunity Youth Collaborative VISTA (Y2), OneStar
 
 
 
Alliance of Community Assistance Ministries (ACAM) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and a nationally recognized management support organization (MSO) that strengthens and convenes a network of faith-based nonprofits serving low-income families. The 200,000 individuals served each year by ACAM’s Network are among the most vulnerable in our region. 99% of clients are in the spectrum of low-income with 75% in the lowest bracket, "extremely low income.” To strengthen the ACAM network and Houston’s wider social services safety net, ACAM uses the Greater Houston Opportunity Youth (OY) Collaborative to transform the career horizon for disconnected youth by investing in career on-ramps, learning and advancement. The ultimate goal of the GHOYC is to collaboratively scale pathways for young adults 16-24 years old who are neither working nor in school. The ACAM OY AmeriCorps VISTA position will support the building out of infrastructure to support the goals of the Collaborative and enhance the capacity of each organization involved to improve the lives of opportunity youth in the region.
