25-26 Felix Organization Community Relations and Development

The mission of The Felix Organization is to enrich the lives of youth growing up in the foster care system. The average foster child will experience eight different home placements during their time in care. Because of that instability they rarely if ever get a chance to have those experiences that really make a childhood special, like summer camp, holiday events, plays, sporting events and road trips to exciting destinations. We help address that critical need. We do this through opportunities including overnight summer camps, youth conferences, mini-grants to support enrichment activities throughout the year, holiday events and more. While so many organizations focus on basic needs, we focus on providing those experiences that make a childhood special.

Our VISTA will join our small but dynamic team to increase our organization¿s efficiency and allow us to carry out this mission and ultimately serve more children in the foster care system. Our VISTA will support our social media and email outreach to raise awareness. They will work with our development staff to increase fundraising revenue and will help us expand and strengthen community partnerships. Our VISTA will work closely with our Program Director and Executive Director to plan our youth programs and will design assessments to support and improve our program operations. This position will allow our VISTA to gain hands-on experience in the nonprofit sector in a caring and exciting environment while having the opportunity to make a difference in the foster care community.
