ReachBack Resource Developer VISTA_Virtual Service Site
 
 
 
ReachBack, Inc., will recruit 8 AmeriCorps VISTA members who will essentially work together to empower Community Change Makers in strengthening their community through volunteerism and partnership. The initiative is called ReachBack 5-2-1, will revolutionize community involvement and engagement by ensuring underserved youth, young adults and aspiring entrepreneurs reach their potential and learn Essential Skills employers desire. The VISTA members will impact two communities initially. As a result of the VISTA members work, youth, unemployed individuals, and young adults will find rewarding and enriching career opportunities. The VISTA members will identify coaches, 3500 youth and young adults who seek to receive Essential Skills training, give residents a platform to address challenging community problems, source for 20 community partners, recruit 1200 volunteers, recruit 30-150 individuals for the Community Impact (CCI) groups, host events, increase collaboration among socially disadvantaged individuals, expand services to 2 other communities, build program capacity through sponsorship and grant development, organize curriculum, design marketing content, and increase work opportunities for the disconnected and low income young adults, via jobs and/or entrepreneurship in order to eradicate poverty. The work is tele-services and virtual while most of your time is boots on the ground meeting community leaders, attending community meetings, and sourcing within the community we serve. If you are a Change Maker that enjoys solving community problems, is ambitious, and seeks growth through collaborations, you will enjoy this VISTA project.
