Economic Development Coordinator VISTA
 
 
 
Promise Zones are high-poverty, high capacity communities where the federal government works with local leaders to increase efforts and achieve neighborhood-created goals and priorities over a ten-year period. Established in 2015, the IndyEast Promise Zone has worked across sectors to improve the quality of life and accelerate revitalization on the Eastside of Indianapolis, Indiana. Over the next several years, the IndyEast Promise Zone, neighborhood residents, and implementation partners will work to carry out activities and interventions while leveraging new opportunities. VISTA members will work with our well-established community development team throughout their term of service and get connected with partners at all levels (neighborhood, city, state, and federal) while receiving professional development.
