Job description

Step Up's VISTA project is organized around three strategic pillars: Resource Innovation, Scalable Reach, and Brand Prominence. Each pillar addresses a specific organizational barrier limiting Step Up's ability to reach low-income girls and young women at scale: insufficient fundraising infrastructure, insufficient community infrastructure to enter new markets, and insufficient visibility to ensure young people in those markets know Step Up exists. The project will seek to build the organizational capacity, community infrastructure, and fundraising systems needed to expand Step Up's programming into new markets, develop a partnership model for young women and teen girls, schools and districts and elevate Step Up's national visibility to ensure young people in low-income communities across the country can access the mentorship and career readiness resources they need to move out of poverty and into economic self-sufficiency.

Member Duties : Mentor Recruitment: build and implement local mentor recruitment strategies — employer outreach, professional association partnerships, and volunteer pipeline development; Young Adult Recruitment: Develop and implement strategies to recruit young adults to Step Up programming — community outreach, referral partner networks, and intake processes; Teen Recruitment: Develop sustainable teen recruitment systems for Step Up campuses, including school counselor engagement strategies, student outreach resources, contact-tracking tools, and in-school recruitment procedures for continued staff use; Community Expansion Research: Research rural and small communities near existing markets; identify NGO, small business, and civic partners critical to Step Up expansion
