Jobbeschreibung

Serve as an AmeriCorps VISTA Volunteer with Young Families Early Head Start (YFEHS) to empower vulnerable families and build a lasting community impact. The organization’s mission is to support teen, prenatal, foster, and homeless parents living below poverty guidelines by providing comprehensive, quality child care for infants and toddlers up to age three. YFEHS champions parents’ educational and career goals while ensuring children access high-quality early learning during critical development years. Billings faces acute economic challenges, including a severe child care shortage and high housing costs. Because federal grants cover only 42% of its annual operating needs, YFEHS relies heavily on community partnerships to sustain vital services. A VISTA will expand organizational capacity and financial resilience by designing sustainable fundraising systems, research grants, cultivate prospective donors, and establish repeatable resource development strategies that staff can use long after the service term concludes. The successful candidate should be familiar with early education and comfortable with public speaking, community engagement, and program design. Living in Billings provides a perfect blend of robust regional infrastructure and a welcoming small-town feel, complete with a slower pace of life and boundless outdoor recreation. Most importantly, this position offers an immediate, visible return on your time—allowing you to watch local children and families thrive because of the stable environment you help build. The Billings Metro VISTA Project also offers supplemental housing and transportation benefits via monthly reimbursements.
