Serve Jersey City - Youth Counsel Coordinator
 
 
 
Becoming a Jersey City AmeriCorps VISTA is a unique opportunity for the next generation of civic leaders that will work in and with the community to address some of Jersey City’s most pressing needs. To help in this effort, the City is seeking experienced and highly motivated self-starters with leadership skills to serve as a Jersey City AmeriCorps VISTA. This exciting opportunity will enable the VISTA member to support ongoing work that includes capacity-building to support workforce investment, youth development, resident quality of life, and empowerment initiatives, as well as city-wide volunteerism. Jersey City recognizes the importance of community engagement and leadership as a vehicle for positively impacting the lives of low-income residents. The Jersey City AmeriCorps VISTA is vital to the City’s ability to develop, implement, evaluate, and sustain a clear and coordinated strategy for promoting and supporting community engagement initiatives, such as targeted volunteerism, which has proven to be an effective means to addressing the City’s greatest challenges. Administered through the Jersey City Mayor’s Office Resident Response Center (RRC), out of City Hall, the Jersey City VISTA program engages in ongoing collaborations with multiple City and County agencies, departments, non-profit organizations, and community groups. These partnerships are crucial in allowing our program to interact with a broad range of residents that benefit from our service. This experience and opportunity combined with the benefits that come with being an AmeriCorps VISTA member make this position ideal for those who are looking to make a long-lasting, positive impact both personally and within the Jersey City community.
