Job Title: Bilingual Communications Manager
Company: VELA
Location: Austin, TX
Position Type: Full-Time
About Us:
When told that your child has a disability, your life changes. Acronym-filled paperwork, doctors, therapy sessions, and special education meetings become your new normal. Research shows parent involvement to be the greatest indicator of positive outcomes for children with disabilities, yet parents report feelings of powerlessness when navigating doctors, therapies and special education for their child. This is where VELA steps in- we partner with families and provide knowledge, empowerment, resilience and community. Through our courses and wraparound services, parents learn how to support their child's strengths and needs, navigate medical and special education services, connect to community resources and become their child’s greatest expert. In the last twelve years, VELA has grown from a 100% volunteer-run agency to having 11 staff, a strategic board, and a community of volunteers that serves over 2,500 families annually. VELA will be launching its new Equity Centered Strategic Plan this year. VELA is values-driven, innovative and intentional and we love what we do.
