Heal House VISTA Special Projects Coordinator
 
 
 
Do you like communicating your passion for helping people using a broad palate of tools that include social media as well as collaborative communication strategies? Are you comfortable empathizing with the stories of America’s most fragile and creating and analyzing databases to help them rise out of poverty? If the answer is yes! we need you at the Heal House of Iowa. Our nonprofit began with the vision and commitment of a caring group of people concerned for the well-being of young and old homeless people living like ghosts in our rural community. The homeless in Warren County live in the woods, on peoples’ couches, and in abandoned buildings. Heal House opened its doors in August 2020 and have served over 108 adults and children. Our guests stay days and weeks, but most of them are here for 1 to 5 months. Our board and staff aid guests with housing, government support for food and medical care, and employment. During your year at the Heal House of Iowa you will gain a personal perspective on a growing national problem. Your role will be to assist us in improving our capacity to serve this population. You will help create guest databases, develop volunteer materials, and collaborate with a fundraising team to seek funding for staffing and facility goals. Working with Heal House volunteers staffing the office, board members, and community leaders, you will sharpen your communication skills, develop grant writing and data analysis skills, and gain a local understanding of this complex problem. This position is open until ideal candidate if found. Candidate must live in and around the Indianola area. There is an option to be up to 50% virtual service. The organization provides additional incentives to the candidate which include housing (internet, laundry, access to food pantry, and tickets to community events).
