Mercy Corps Northwest AmeriCorps VISTA Leader
 
 
 
Located in Portland, Oregon, Mercy Corps Northwest (MCNW) is the domestic arm of Mercy Corps, a global humanitarian aid organization. As a VISTA Leader, you will serve directly with our Americorps VISTA Program alongside our second VISTA Leader and be the facilitator to a team of AmeriCorps VISTAs who are managed by MCNW and stationed at nonprofit organizations and public agencies across Oregon and Washington. VISTA members and Leaders perform only indirect service; interaction with clients will be limited and the Leader will spend the majority of their time in an office setting or remotely until it is safe to serve in the office. However, the VISTA Leader will help alleviate poverty by ensuring that the VISTA members serving with the MCNW team have the support, resources, and training needed to have a successful experience and positive outcomes. Leader duties will include: mentoring members; planning and coordinating member training and events; monitoring and supporting member progress through meetings, data collection, tracking, and site visits; supporting member recruitment and onboarding; and strengthening program outreach and marketing. PLEASE NOTE: Individuals are eligible to serve as Leaders only if they have successfully completed at least one term of service with AmeriCorps VISTA, AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), or Peace Corps. Applications that do not meet this eligibility will not be considered. Early applications are strongly encouraged. Selection for this role will be made on a rolling basis. The MCNW VISTA Leader supports a team of VISTA members throughout Oregon and Washington in implementing projects to improve affordable housing, homeless services, job training, and financial inclusion.
