SOS ensures every child, ages 0-5, in the Chicago area has the essential items they need to support their health and development and equip them for a strong start. We do this by collecting new and gently used infant and toddler items from those with “extras” to spare and distributing them to families living in poverty through a sustainable network of volunteers, community stakeholders, and social service agencies. With a distribution network of more than 75 agency partners, we are supporting social workers across Lake, Cook, and DuPage counties and providing essential items to more than 10,000 children annually. SOS seeks a highly motivated, versatile, and socially conscious Systems & Procedures Optimization VISTA to join our team. This role will work with the Director of Operations and Development as well as the Director of Partnerships & Community Engagement to increase staff and stakeholder engagement. Through a streamlined plan and approach, this role will capture standard operating procedures, as well as develop and launch new opportunities and events for Share Our Spare to provide continuous opportunities for organizational capacity and growth. Additionally, this role will deepen SOS’s impact by using data-driven research to inform improved structures and processes.
