WV Community Development Hub VISTA Leader
At the West Virginia Community Development Hub, we believe every community has the tools to develop economic opportunities and jobs; optimal health conditions; attractive and inspiring community environments; bright futures for young people, and citizens who believe they deserve these things and are prepared to work together to get them. Through our community engagement programs, communities will be building their capacity around specific leadership skills, teamwork success, community engagement techniques, facilitation skills, communications and marketing, business outreach and training materials, knowledge of service providers and funding resources, and grant writing abilities. Members of The Hub's VISTA program support these efforts, providing long term capacity building after coaching programs conclude. This VISTA Leader position will deepen these efforts, through supporting both coaching program and VISTA cohort development. Further help on this page can be found by clicking here.
