Job:
I am an Americorps VISTA Volunteer with Barren River Area Safe Space, Inc. which is domestic violence shelter. Being a VISTA means that I spend a year of volunteer service with a nonprofit or governmental organization.
My job responsibilities include:
enhancing capacity building efforts through research of local and foundation funding,assisting in free tax preparation services and financial literacy programming, assisting survivors in qualifying for financial assistance through the AllState Foundation, developing a recycling program for the shelter, etc.
Some challenges include:
not having enough to do all the programs that we would like and not enough money to hire personnel for the programs.
Some cool things about work:
getting to meet some great women and children. Also, it is nice knowing that you are helping someone who hasn't been as fortunate. The best thing is when someone tells you that you have inspired them or empowered them.
