2025 YB Development & Communications VISTA- Louisville, KY
YouthBuild Louisville is a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of young people through education, job training, leadership development, and community service. Serving young adults ages 16-24, the program provides opportunities to earn a GED or high school diploma while gaining hands-on training in construction, horticulture, and other career pathways. With a focus on leadership, responsibility, and personal growth, YouthBuild Louisville equips students with the academic, professional, and life skills needed to succeed in post-secondary education, the workforce, and beyond. The program emphasizes both individual transformation and community impact, empowering students to become engaged, self-sufficient leaders. The VISTA will strengthen the organization's sustainability by improving systems for data management, donor engagement, and event coordination. You'll review and standardize databases to ensure accurate records, create donor stewardship and communication tools to build lasting relationships, and design event planning and evaluation systems that enhance quality and impact.
