<p>25-26 South Bronx United Development & Communications VISTA</p> <p>South Bronx United is a 501c3 nonprofit, youth development organization that uses soccer as a tool for change helping youth build character, teamwork, and leadership so that they can succeed in high school, college, careers, their community, and beyond. SBU programs combine academic enrichment, college prep, mentoring, workforce development with soccer programs. Currently, South Bronx United programs reach more than 1,600 children and young adults, between the ages of 4 and 24. We rely primarily on private support to operate our programs and services, raising more than $2 million annually. This requires the coordination of a team including our Senior Development Coordinator, Communications Manager, and Grants Coordinator working alongside SBU's Executive Director. The Development and Communications Associate will join this team to assist in crucial capacity building efforts that will enable the organization to continue to grow its size and impact. The individual in this role must be a strong communicator, organized and detail oriented, and passionate about the mission and community. VISTAs will also have the opportunity to pursue interests in different departments of the organization and tailor your year to be more focused on your goals!
