25-26 South Bronx United Volunteer & Community VISTA

Founded in 2009, South Bronx United (SBU) serves more than 1,800 youth and their families by combining soccer with academic enrichment, college prep, mentoring, workforce development, immigration legal services, and more in one of the nation's poorest and underserved districts. As a nonprofit, charitable organization, SBU depends on more than 250 committed volunteers to support these programs and services and the full community. The feasibility of providing holistic and in-depth services to our youth and families depends on volunteers and by extension full-time staff dedicated to volunteer recruitment and management.

Strong candidates should possess strong interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills. In this role, the VISTA member will gain valuable experience, professional development opportunities, and mentorship while seeing the impact of their work directly in the joy and growth of children and young adults in SBU programs.
