Communications VISTA

Save to Favorites

The VISTA will expand communications for ESLC programs by building relationships, reaching new supporters, nourishing our current stakeholders and generally telling ESLC’s story to the broader community. These activities will lead to more resources for programming and will increase our ability to help more children learn to read. By leveraging resources, working strategically and planning carefully, the VISTA will pilot a new and more effective outreach and communications plan. This will help grow our Bruce Vento site from serving only Kindergarten to also serving Pre-K and 1 st through 3 rd graders. The VISTA will work under the guidance of the Development and Outreach Officer to development a 3-year to plan for building partnerships, communication outreach, and donor messaging. Position will also incorporate diversity goals into the outreach plan to be sure our children can see themselves in the support network we are building for them.
