L.A. Works VISTA Leader
 
 
 
L.A. Works was founded in 1991 to harness LA’s volunteer power. Each year we mobilize more than 25,000 volunteers to address critical issues impacting our community, with the goal to unite Angelenos and inspire action for a more equitable Los Angeles. L.A. Works addresses three principal needs: increase volunteer participation in community service projects; build the capacity of nonprofit organizations to achieve their missions through access to volunteers and other resources; and educate and encourage people to engage in the broader social issues affecting the greater Los Angeles Community. The L.A. AmeriCorps VISTA program partners with local nonprofit organizations that host VISTA members to build capacity for their organization during a year of service. In collaboration with the AmeriCorps VISTA Program Manager, the L.A. Works VISTA Leader will expand our organizational capacity to effectively manage our VISTA project and support our VISTA members. In their role, the VISTA Leader will foster a learning community by spearheading monthly professional development trainings and team building activities. The VISTA Leader will act as the go-to person for VISTA member support when they need assistance navigating their year of service. For the L.A. Works AmeriCorps VISTA program, the VISTA Leader will co-lead outreach activities and AmeriCorps VISTA member recruitment. Overall, the VISTA Leader will ensure that effective systems, policies, and procedures are in place to ensure the sustainability of the program.
