2025 YouthBuild Development & Communications VISTA- Compton

Compton YouthBuild, operated by EntreNous Youth Empowerment Services, helps young people ages 16–24 reclaim their education and career goals while contributing to their community. Through a blend of academics, leadership development, construction training, and life-skills coaching, participants earn high-school diplomas or equivalent credentials, gain industry-recognized certifications, and develop the confidence to thrive in college, skilled trades, or meaningful careers. The program’s holistic approach also provides counseling, service opportunities, and wraparound support so students can overcome barriers and create sustainable futures. The AmeriCorps VISTA will strengthen Compton YouthBuild’s fundraising and community engagement capacity. Duties include researching and compiling grant, sponsor, and donor prospects; designing a multi-faceted fundraising strategy with events, campaigns, and donor engagement plans; and creating compelling messaging, media kits, and social content to highlight the organization’s impact. The member will track fundraising efforts with tools like GiveButter and Bloomerang, evaluate outcomes, and recommend improvements. They will also develop a comprehensive communications plan, draft newsletters, and coordinate personalized outreach to key donors and partners. To expand community connections, the VISTA will plan and execute engagement events such as a Foundation Salon, cultivate new partnerships, and design donor engagement activities like advisory committees or industry talks. Throughout the service term, the VISTA will document processes and train staff to ensure all fundraising, communications, and partnership systems are sustainable beyond their service.
