*Goodwill VISTA* AVESTA Housing Advancement VISTA
 
 
 
Avesta is the largest nonprofit affordable housing provider in Northern New England. We are tackling the urgent need for affordable housing, which has a long-lasting impact on our communities. Stable housing provides a foundation for individuals and families to build healthy and fulfilling lives. Avesta’s mission is to improve lives and strengthen communities by promoting and providing quality affordable homes for people in need. We envision a future where communities thrive because everyone has a place to call home. Avesta works to end the cycle of poverty by providing homes and support services that help very low- and low-income individuals and families achieve housing stability. You can read more about us at AvestaHousing.org. Avesta’s Advancement Team is responsible for raising philanthropic dollars to support the organization’s work. These funds are critical to providing the highest quality of services to Avesta residents and to increasing access to affordable housing in our communities. The Advancement Team is also responsible for public relations and communications efforts that effectively tell the story of the important work Avesta does in the community while highlighting opportunities to partner with the organization to serve low-income community members. This small team would like to increase and improve Avesta’s social media presence, including the use of video and the possible implementation of Instagram to help the public and potential donors better understand the affordable housing landscape and Avesta’s role within it.
