EngageCorps VISTA at El Pueblo Unido of Atlantic City
role at
AmeriCorps El Pueblo Unido of Atlantic City is a grassroots, immigrant-led nonprofit working to empower Latino and immigrant communities across Atlantic County through legal services, social services, transformative education, and community organizing. Our mission is to ensure that working-class immigrant families, workers, tenants, and youth have the tools and power to thrive with dignity and justice. We are building a future where immigrant communities are supported, organized, and leading. In 2025, we opened our first-ever community center, expanded Know Your Rights workshops to four cities, and helped hundreds of families overcome barriers to housing, healthcare, and economic opportunity. We’re taking the next step by launching a bilingual countywide Community Needs Assessment and supporting a Latino student-led civic engagement campaign—both happening simultaneously. Our community faces intersecting challenges: unaffordable housing, unsafe working conditions, language and legal barriers, fear of deportation, and exclusion from public services. Yet there is little formal data reflecting these realities, and few spaces where young people can organize to change them. An EngageCorps VISTA will play a key role in both efforts. They will support the rollout of the community needs assessment while also working alongside Latino student organizations to build a coalition focused on voter education, policy advocacy, and public campaigns that address housing, health, and economic justice.
