26-27 Bay Area Women's Sports Initaitive Business Area VISTA

The Bay Area Women¿s Sports Initiative (BAWSI) is a nonprofit founded in 2005 by women¿s sports legends Marlene Bjornsrud, Brandi Chastain, and Julie Foudy. BAWSI mobilizes the women¿s sports community to engage, inspire, and empower the children who need us most.

Since our founding, BAWSI has focused specifically on programs for girls from under-resourced neighborhoods¿those who have the least access but the most to gain from sports participation. Our programs incorporate factors that help build resilience in children living with adversity.

As a VISTA, you will expand your skills in business operations and finance while gaining valuable hands-on experience. This position requires strong interpersonal, organizational, and communication skills, as well as attention to detail, documentation, and follow-through in project work. An interest in and familiarity with operational improvements and communications will be helpful in creatively gaining support for BAWSI.

Working alongside BAWSI staff, the VISTA will be part of a team that supports programs designed to improve physical and mental health outcomes for BAWSI Girls in the San Jose, CA area through physical activity and sports participation. We believe that girls who play today become women who lead. Through this work, we are helping to develop future leaders in our businesses and local industries.
