Job description

This AmeriCorps VISTA service opportunity supports Re-Entry Solutions’ anti-poverty work by strengthening the systems, partnerships, and infrastructure needed to help justice‑impacted individuals and other vulnerable populations move toward long‑term stability and self‑sufficiency.

The member may also help expand employer engagement, volunteer development, referral pathways, and outcome measurement systems so that the organization can serve more people more effectively.

Through this role, the VISTA member will help Re‑Entry Solutions increase organizational capacity, improve coordination of anti‑poverty initiatives, and strengthen the foundation for sustainable community impact. The overall goal is to help the organization grow its ability to support individuals and families facing economic hardship by creating stronger systems that lead to greater access to opportunity, reduced barriers, and improved long‑term outcomes.
