Job description

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. The Data & Project Coordination Capacity Builder will strengthen the internal systems that support cross-departmental program planning, data analysis, and project coordination. By improving data management, communication workflows, and project tracking processes, the VISTA will enhance organizational efficiency, support informed decision-making, and increase the long-term sustainability of anti-poverty programs serving individuals and families across the region. Catholic Charities of Kansas City-St. Joseph operates multiple interconnected programs addressing food insecurity, housing instability, family stability, workforce development, and other root causes of poverty. As programs grow in scale and complexity, limited centralized capacity for data management, project coordination, and cross-departmental communication can slow implementation and reduce effectiveness. Strengthening internal systems for data collection, analysis, scheduling, and project coordination is essential to ensuring that programs remain responsive, accountable, and able to maximize their impact for individuals and families experiencing poverty. This program will strengthen the internal systems that support cross-departmental program planning, data analysis, and project coordination.
