VEP VISTA Leader - International Rescue Committee SLC
 
 
 
Join the Volunteer Empowerment Project (VEP) as our VISTA Leader! Based out of beautiful Salt Lake City, UT, this position works with 15 year-long VISTA members and 10+ summer associates serving at three nonprofits throughout the state of Utah: the International Rescue Committee, United Way of Utah County and United Way of Northern Utah. Each VEP VISTA member has a unique assignment description with time-bound objectives that expand community-facing programming and build capacity at their respective sites. VISTAs in our project provide indirect service that focuses on bolstering education, economic empowerment and healthy living initiatives. Members of the VISTA cohort perform activities ranging from volunteer coordination; community and partnership outreach; communications and social media; grant writing; curriculum development; and more. The VEP VISTA Leader works closely alongside each VISTA member to better equip them with the knowledge and tools to succeed during their service term. As an educator, mentor, liaison and resource provider, the VISTA Leader supports the VISTA cohort by centering mental health and well-being; highlighting opportunities for professional development; and cultivating an overall environment of learning, encouragement and open communication. NOTE: This position is based out of the International Rescue Committee's (IRC) office in Salt Lake City, UT and will mainly continue to operate as a remote teleservice position for the foreseeable future. All applicants MUST have prior service experience through a full term of AmeriCorps State and National, AmeriCorps NCCC, AmeriCorps VISTA or Peace Corps to be eligible for this position. NO EXCEPTIONS. All interested candidates MUST also submit an IRC-specific application (www.rescue.org/careers). Any offer will be contingent upon passing an FBI criminal background check. Additional benefits include a $300 monthly housing subsidy and more perks offered through the International Rescue Committee.
