African Community Center Youth Program Management VISTA
 
 
 
ECDC African Community Center (ACC) is a community-based organization whose mission is to help refugees and immigrants rebuild safe, sustainable lives in Denver after fleeing war and persecution. Founded in 2001, ACC provides comprehensive services to over 1,700 refugees per year. Through your work at ACC, you will be part of an organization that transforms the lives of at-risk populations when they are at their most vulnerable. ACC’s location in the booming Denver metro area will give you access to all that the region has to offer, from a multitude of outdoor recreation opportunities to exciting cultural events and festivals. Whether you prefer to spend your weekends rock climbing, relaxing at parks, snowboarding, walking miles of city trails, visiting museums, attending festivals, or watching professional sporting events or Broadway shows, Denver has what you’re looking for. As our Youth Program Management VISTA, you will help us manage the services we provide and have an opportunity to develop and pilot new programs. You will evaluate how to best recruit, utilize and manage well-trained, highly skilled volunteers within these programs to maximize the benefits for refugee youth. This will be a great opportunity to work in youth development, learn about newcomer populations, and work with a diverse and fascinating staff. You will also have the opportunity to take part in all professional development trainings available to ACC staff. We are looking for someone who is flexible, organized, able to demonstrate cross-cultural sensitivity, and excellent in written and verbal communication. Bonus points for experience working with volunteers or at-risk populations and competence in a language other than English! Sound like you? Visit our website (acc-den.org) or reach out to Tracy Small for more information (303-399-4500 x315 or tracy@acc-den.org).

As our VISTA you will step into the roles of each of our volunteers in order to ascertain how we can best support all aspects of our programming.
