2019 Fundraising - VISTA Summer Associate
 
 
 
The mission of Centro Romero is to empower those with the fewest options in the immigrant and refugee community by developing and strengthening the family unit, fostering community leadership and providing quality social and adjustment services. Centro Romero is a community-based organization that has been serving the low-income Latino immigrant and refugee community on the northeast side of Chicago for 35 years. The VISTA Summer Associate will assist with fundraising events with the goal of increasing amounts raised through sponsorships, ticket sales, silent auction items, a raffle, and ads in the program booklet. The project will increase our ability to fight poverty by the empowering tools of education and information for the VISTA Summer Associate and mentoring her/him in experiential knowledge about fundraising events. This position is a part of the Housing Action VISTA Network, which is an AmeriCorps VISTA program managed by Housing Action Illinois since 2010. As such, this position will receive expert training, support, guidance, and networking opportunities, in addition to the traditional opportunities for AmeriCorps VISTA positions. Learn more about the program at Housing Action’s website.

Member Duties : The gross revenues of the Centro Romero major fundraiser for the year increased to $53,000 due partially to last year's VISTA Summer Associate's hard work. We wish to increase last year’s amount by 6% ($3,180) this year through better planning and outreach to the various funding streams: sponsorships, ticket sales, silent auction items, raffle, and ads in the program booklet.
