415 Walnut Collective VISTA, IAMNCC
 
 
 
The 415 Walnut Collective is a grassroots coalition of local stakeholders and community members serving as ambassadors for the preservation, renovation, and reimagining of the Faith Temple Baptist Church building (also known as the Walnut St. Baptist Church) located at 415 Walnut St., Waterloo, IA. The collective is committed to reimagining a use for this building that promotes community health and wellbeing. Our mission is to create a space for literacy and wellbeing through the development of a community learning hub in the Walnut St. Church building, and to promote a thriving and healthy Walnut neighborhood community. The VISTA will help strategize and strengthen the vision of the 415 Walnut collective mission by organizing project planning, coordinating fundraising/grant-writing efforts, and developing project management processes. The VISTA will coordinate volunteer outreach, connect stakeholders, and drive community engagement in the 415 Walnut Collective mission. This includes administration, event planning, and development of pilot projects that further the mission of the 415 Walnut Collective. Additionally, the VISTA will promote project sustainability through development of a two-year strategy that promotes project sustainability through community partnerships. This project is part of the Community Corps VISTA Program, operated by Iowa & Minnesota Campus Compact. The program strives to eliminate poverty through campus-community partnerships by placing full-time capacity building support in nonprofit organizations and higher education institutions. ***Please also send cover letter and resume to supervisor. Interviews will occur on a rolling basis. Preference given to candidates who apply early.***
