Otterbein-Promise House Coordinator

Otterbein University is an institution that serves the community by preparing graduates to engage locally and globally as they advance their professions and their communities. Over 44% of Otterbein students face significant socioeconomic barriers to their success. The VISTA project is housed on campus within the Center for Student Engagement (CSE) where we educate students through hands-on experiential opportunities. The VISTA program is integrated with student service organizations, leadership for social change programs, a food pantry and resource center (The Promise House), and a one-acre community give-back garden (The Otterbein Community Garden). The Promise House hosts a Cardinal Resource Hub to integrate community resources from various non-profit and educational sites, bringing together food fairness work, emergency housing, microgrants, strategies for poverty alleviation, food production, nutrition education, financial literacy, and other educational programming.
