24-25 Heart of Los Angeles Volunteer Program VISTA

Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA) helps young people overcome barriers through exceptional, free, integrated programs and personalized guidance in a trusted, nurturing environment. Our mission is guided by our core values: Respect, Responsibility, Support, Positive Communication, and Inclusion. Each year, HOLA provides over 3,100 youth with transformational after-school programming that includes academic programs, instrumental music, visual arts, athletic leagues and clinics, wellness, a family services department that offers case management, counseling and therapy, and more. As our Volunteer Program VISTA, you'll play a critical role in making these programs possible by strengthening our 400+ volunteer corps and the systems that make their service possible. Working closely with the Volunteer and Community Engagement Manager, Senior Director of Community Engagement, and Chief Development Officer, this role is a great opportunity to learn about nonprofit operations, program development, and fundraising, while making a tangible difference in the lives of thousands of youth. If you're a detail-oriented strategic thinker who loves connecting with people, this is the role for you.
