HOPE Village Communications & Outreach Associate VISTA

HOPE Village Revitalization: Building a sustainable, equitable neighborhood with a high quality of life for all. Focus: HOPE and Hope Village Revitalization serve and empower Detroit through a wide array of community-based approaches to growth and poverty alleviation. Together, we serve well over 40,000 residents annually. Focus: HOPE's programs include early childhood education, youth development, trade-based workforce training, and asset-based community development. These create a pipeline of opportunity for Detroiters at every stage of life. HOPE Village Revitalization was formerly a branch of Focus: HOPE but has since become an independent nonprofit organization. HVR works within the 100-block radius surrounding the Focus: HOPE campus on Oakman Boulevard, along the Detroit and Highland Park border. The residents of HOPE Village are the beneficiaries of all services and programming provided by HVR: sustainable housing, fresh food systems, healthy living, placemaking, community arts and culture, and the HOPE Village Farmers Market. Focus: HOPE is an equal opportunity employer. Focus: HOPE does not discriminate in its hiring, promotion, transfer, discipline, or termination practices against any employee based on race, gender, religion, national origin, age, height, weight, marital status, veteran status, or handicap or disability unrelated to an employee’s ability to perform his or her job.
