EMERGE Development & Communications VISTA
 
 
 
EMERGE Community Development is a Minneapolis-based community development agency working in the heart of North Minneapolis and Cedar-Riverside, communities rich in cultural diversity and workforce potential, but struggling with dramatic disparities in economic opportunity. Approximately 35% of the people EMERGE serves are overcoming a criminal background. This project is focused on increasing financial support and awareness for all of EMERGE’s programs, services and social enterprises for our participants as well as diversifying the VISTA cohort. EMERGE offers adult and youth workforce services, transitional employment and career training opportunities, tailored to the specific needs of the participant. Our social enterprise businesses create and support more than 350 jobs annually and generate more than $1 million in wages for low-income communities. EMERGE serves about 3,000 people per year. The Development & Communications VISTA would actively engage in developing financial resources and external communications for EMERGE as part of skilled team of Development professionals that includes a Development & Communications Director, Grants Officer, Development Assistant and AmeriCorps Program/Volunteer Manager. This is a great opportunity for someone who is exploring a career in nonprofits and has a passion for racial and economic justice. Join a dynamic team and learn whether a career in nonprofit development or communications is for you!
