Eco3.24 CHUM Community Leadership VISTA
 
 
 
Help develop and improve on opportunities people with lived experience of homelessness to provide feedback, accountability and leadership within CHUM and across the homeless response system in Duluth. CHUM is the largest nonprofit safety net in Northeastern Minnesota. Now in its 50th year, CHUM serves over 8,000 low-income, homeless and hungry individuals a year through its shelter, drop-in center, warming centers, permanent housing programs, and food shelves. It is also a founding partner and fiscal agent for Stepping on Up, a 14-agency collaborative effort to end street homelessness in the Duluth area. Our VISTA member will focus on research, engagement, and leadership development to ensure that CHUM and Stepping On Up programs are in alignment with best practices and responsive to the experiences and leadership of people who are unhoused. The goal of Stepping On Up is to achieve functional zero street homelessness in the Duluth area. Our VISTA member will improve organizational capacity by developing ongoing systems of feedback, accountability and leadership that ensure people personally impacted by homelessness are helping to drive existing and emerging housing and shelter programs toward best outcomes. The VISTA member will be part of the Ecolibrium3 AmeriCorps VISTA cohort. Although each member is serving in a unique position, all cohort members will participate in VISTA specific activities such as regular cohort meetings, collaborative projects, professional development opportunities, and trainings.
