Community Events Coordinator Vista- More Than Words
 
 
 
More Than Words (MTW) is a social enterprise that empowers youth, ages 16-24, who are in the foster care system, court involved, homeless, or out of school to take charge of their lives by taking charge of a business. By working as a team to manage their own retail and online used book business and community space, youth develop the employment skills, leadership, and self-confidence they need to successfully transition to adulthood.    The purpose of this project is to create the tools, resources, and knowledgebase that improves More Than Words’ ability to empower system-involved young adults within the MTW model. Working directly with the Associate Director of Retail & Events, the Community Events VISTA will play a critical role in creating systems and networks to activate the store space to foster community, create higher level skill building within the job training program, and raise awareness of the More Than Words mission and model. This is an in-person role.
