Marketing and Digital Media VISTA- Ascencia
The exact start date of this position is yet to be determined. Ascencia's mission, "to lift people out of homelessness one person, one family at a time," speaks to how we place individualized care at the center of our work. Our vision, "a community where people in need access services and find safe, affordable housing," calls us to address systemic drivers of homelessness -- our anti-poverty focus. Ascencia is a 501(c)(3) organization formed in 2006 as PATH Achieve Glendale to operate a range of programs serving homeless families and individuals in the greater Glendale area.

Our service area encompasses Glendale, Burbank, the Los Angeles communities of Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Glassell Park and Atwater Village, and West Hollywood.
