Administrative Operations and Volunteer Engagement VISTA
 
 
 
Do you want to take action on social justice issues? Do you want to be part of the solution to help immigrants who have suffered persecution and other human rights abuses? You can make an impact by serving at American Gateways, one of the most effective and efficient nonprofit immigration legal service providers in the nation, based in Austin, Texas. This VISTA Member will work closely with the Director of Development and other staff to create and improve the agency’s internal systems which support our volunteer programs for pro bono attorneys, interpreters, translators and other volunteers, contribute to our social media campaigns and provide operational support for finance, audits and fundraising systems. American Gateways serves clients with a combined staff/volunteer legal team and a large bank of pro bono attorneys, volunteer interpreters and translators. The behind the scenes work of creating effective systems is crucial for these programs to run smoothly and capture data to share in reports. Documenting our impact with data is an important factor in improving our ability to raise additional funds, increase our volunteer base and ultimately expand the number of people we can help acquire improved immigration status, which pulls entire families out of poverty. The VISTA will gain a full understanding of the inner workings of a nonprofit and how behind-the-scenes work has a deep impact on the ability to provide legal services to thousands of low-income Texan immigrants. Full training and support will be provided. Service dates are 08/29/2022 – 08/28/2023. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so we encourage candidates to submit as early as possible. Submit supplementary application materials to American Gateways: • Cover letter and résumé to: LoraP@AmericanGateways.org. Put position name in subject line. • Respond to four questions at: https://forms.gle/ozCeMeUrabfN5ujQ8
