Volunteer Outreach & Training Coordinator (Portland, OR)

Meals on Wheels People, located in Portland Oregon, enriches the lives of seniors and assists them in maintaining independence by making nutritious food, social contact and other resources easily accessible. To the extent possible we also serve disabled and institutionalized individuals and other nutritionally at-risk populations. Our community spans across Multnomah, Washington and Clark counties and serves clients in urban, suburban and rural areas throughout the three counties. The VISTA member will assist in developing a volunteer outreach and training program for our Senior and Meals 4 Kids programs. These programs reduce poverty by changing the generational nature of hunger through the provision of nutritious food to low-income children and families, enabling clients to focus on health, job skills development, and employment. AmeriCorps VISTA members perform only indirect service; interaction with clients will be limited and the member will spend the majority of his or her time in an office setting. However, the Meals on Wheels People VISTA will play a dynamic role in ending poverty by increasing our volunteer base through targeted outreach efforts and development and documentation of orientation, training, and retention processes, and materials. As a Meals on Wheels People VISTA you will be part of a cohort coordinated by Mercy Corps Northwest. Early applications strongly encouraged. Selections made on a rolling basis.
