Power Engagement VISTA
 
 
 
In this VISTA position at TND, you will increase economic opportunity for low-income people by 1) researching and developing a new, formalized plan to engage corporate and community volunteers in TND’s economic mobility programs, and 2) utilizing communication strategies and tools to link low-income people to multiple economic mobility services. This is an ideal position for someone who is a good communicator and a people person, who would like to build skills in communication strategies, new program development, and volunteer engagement at a well-regarded community-based non-profit. The Neighborhood Developers, Inc. (http://theneighborhooddevelopers.org/) creates vibrant neighborhoods where people from all walks of life can thrive. Focused on three multi-cultural cities that abut Boston to the north (Chelsea, Revere, and Everett), TND builds affordable homes, cultivates neighborhood social capital and leadership, and support family economic mobility. TND-owned buildings are home to 429 households. TND is also home to the CONNECT Financial Opportunity Center (http://www.connectnow.org/), which welcomes residents of TND-owned properties as well as members of the broader community. CONNECT co-locates and integrates the services of five organizations working together to improve the financial mobility of 3,000 clients annually. At CONNECT, TND helps clients apply for food assistance and low-cost health insurance, maximize their tax refund, bolster their financial confidence and knowhow in our classes, and build their future with the support of a financial coach. Through other CONNECT partner organizations, clients can improve their English, work toward a college degree, get into a job training program, get help finding a job, use specialized banking products to improve their credit, and solve housing problems. The integration and co-location of services is designed to make it easier for clients to overcome multiple barriers to economic mobility.
