VISTA Leader - Skagit VISTA Project
 
 
 
This VISTA leader position will be engaged with our 10-member VISTA team operated out of Community Action of Skagit County. Our mission is to foster and advocate for self-sufficiency among low-income people in Skagit County. The Skagit VISTA team helps achieve Community Action’s goal of helping people help themselves and each other by building infrastructure and capacity for programs that serve economically disadvantaged individuals across the county. The VISTA Leader will enhance all aspects of our current project, collaborating with the Project Coordinator to increase efficiency and develop new trainings, systems, and practices that elevate the member experience. A successful candidate will be someone who is energetic, team-oriented, and able to work independently. The VISTA leader will play a substantial role in providing member support and development. Skagit County is nestled halfway between Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC and just east of the San Juan Islands offering access to the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Fans of the outdoors will love our little corner of the world as hiking, kayaking, river rafting, and biking are a small selection of the popular activities with locals and visitors alike. In addition, our team is composed of both locally grown VISTAs and those who have travelled from out of state. Often our VISTAs spend time together outside of service hours, building a strong support network.
