GHCC/ Soccer Without Borders - Collective Impact Coordinator

Soccer Without Borders – Baltimore (SWB) is a non-profit organization working with refugee, asylee, and immigrant youth in the greater Baltimore area. SWB aims to use soccer as a vehicle for positive change, providing newcomer youth with a toolkit to overcome obstacles to growth, inclusion, and personal success. Through year-round athletic and academic programming, SWB has been serving newcomer youth in middle and high school since 2009. A number of organizations in the Baltimore area work exclusively with newcomers, while additional partners work with all city youth. The Collective Impact Coordinator VISTA member will help SWB design and implement an infrastructure for collaboration among these partner organizations in order to increase efficiency and effectiveness of services to this unique population, as a continuation of the development of a system for managing SWB’s interactions and relationships with diverse stakeholders. Year One of this project focused on Community Engagement and Volunteer Engagement. This second year will focus on expanding systems for relationship management to partner organizations and other youth-serving institutions in Baltimore. This position is sponsored by Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) in Baltimore, MD; and the VISTA member will serve with SWB in Baltimore, MD. GHCC serves as the VISTA Project Sponsor to more than 20 nonprofit, government, and community organizations throughout Baltimore City and Maryland. Established in 1969 to help neighborhoods become safer, better places to live, GHCC's mission is to build and strengthen vibrant urban communities. GHCC will provide support to SWB and the VISTA member throughout the year, including recruitment, training, professional development opportunities, and resources.
