Impact Narrative & Design VISTA DC
 
 
 
The Coalition is a Washington D.C. based nonprofit membership organization that convenes a network of affordable housing developers, workforce training providers, small business support organizations, financial institutions, and government partners. Together, this network works to expand economic opportunity for low-income residents across the District, particularly in Wards 5, 7, and 8, where poverty and housing instability remain most significant. The VISTA Volunteer will strengthen the communications infrastructure that supports this network by building systems to improve how impact data, stories, and program outcomes are collected, organized, and shared. While The Coalition and its partners generate significant outcomes across housing stability, workforce development, and small business growth, communications capacity is limited by fragmented data sources, constrained staff bandwidth, and limited capacity for consistent storytelling and content production. Key areas of work include establishing an impact story collection process, creating centralized systems for organizing and maintaining program data and communications assets, and strengthening how internal information is translated into external-facing written content, digital materials, and visual communications. The VISTA Volunteer will be responsible for supporting the production of written communications such as website content, newsletters, and impact stories, as well as creating basic graphic design assets for digital and social media platforms. The goal of this position is to strengthen The Coalition’s long-term capacity to demonstrate the collective impact of its network. Improved systems will increase visibility of effective anti-poverty strategies, enhance the organization’s ability to communicate outcomes to funders and policymakers, and support increased investment in housing, workforce, and small business initiatives serving low-income communities.
