Families in Transition Volunteer Engagement VISTA

Are you passionate about inspiring volunteers? Under the guidance of the Manager of Volunteers and in collaboration with the Director of Development, you’ll lead the charge in recruiting, engaging, and recognizing our amazing volunteers at Families in Transition! Ready to make a difference? Join us!

Our mission is to prevent and break the cycle of homelessness. Families in Transition ensure success for our participants as they are exiting homelessness through our case management services. Our experienced case management team works directly with individuals and families exiting homelessness and connects them to services that will support them and promote long-term housing stability. We work to prevent and break the cycle of homelessness by providing the following programs to the Greater Manchester Community: low-income and affordable housing; adult and family emergency shelters (180+ beds); recovery housing for participants in some of our substance use disorder programs; meals for clients in our emergency shelter; a food pantry for low-income households; and homelessness community outreach.

Our AmeriCorps VISTA Member will develop and implement impactful volunteer engagement strategies that support the organization’s mission of preventing and breaking the cycle of homelessness. This role focuses on recruiting, training, and retaining dedicated volunteers who contribute to programs that provide critical resources, advocacy, and support for individuals and families at risk of or experiencing homelessness. By fostering a culture of compassion and service, the Volunteer Engagement VISTA will ensure volunteers have meaningful opportunities to make a difference while strengthening community partnerships and maximizing volunteer impact.
