SCH is a nonprofit community organization with 50 years of experience providing bilingual housing counseling and education to meet the financial and housing needs of low-to-moderate income households. Our goal is to decrease the wealth gap and build generational wealth for low-income communities across Chicagoland, who are frequently facing disinvestment and predatory housing practices. The Systems & Resources VISTA will build capacity for our organization by creating and enhancing a robust ecosystem of online tools to bring more value to membership. The VISTA will also create the framework for a monthly newsletter to encourage consistent engagement and educate members on different topics, resources, and services. We are seeking applicants with a positive outlook and people skills that will strengthen the SCH team. Our ideal candidate has advanced communication and presentation skills; experience related to communication or data sciences; and interest in leading survey creation, data collection, and focus groups. While not mandatory, fluency in Spanish is a big plus! Candidates should have an interest in reducing the wealth gap in our communities and increasing access to affordable rental housing. This role offers a $300 monthly housing stipend and $100 public transportation stipend.
