Job description

Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Raleigh is a growing agency working to respond to a rise in requests for assistance throughout eastern and central North Carolina. Across the agency, new and innovative programs are being explored to expand and improve the way services are delivered. Increased agency capacity is critical to ensuring success for these future plans. The AmeriCorps VISTA will work towards building agency capacity by expanding our communication structure and developing and/or strengthening regional community relations. The AmeriCorps VISTA will work on projects to increase brand awareness through social media, celebrating the history of the agency, and engagement with regional partner organizations. Increased brand awareness, particularly at the regional level, will create greater localized knowledge of our services with donors, inspiring new and increased donations, allowing us to assist more families in the communities we serve. This VISTA position is a part of Catholic Charities USA’s Family Strengthening Program, a national intermediary project. As a member, you will meet virtually with VISTA Leaders and other VISTAs serving throughout the country, all focused on alleviating poverty.
