WS Helpline Hiring Development and Outreach Coordinator

[Chris.Langeler]

The West Seattle Helpline is a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to preventing homelessness and providing preventive, transitional assistance to at-risk families in our neighborhood.

We have been awarded an AmeriCorps placement through YWCA Sound Youth for 2016-2017 and are hiring an AmeriCorps*VISTA to serve as our Development and Outreach Coordinator. The selected applicant will be responsible for evaluating our existing development and outreach strategies and systems and then using that evaluation to guide the development and pilot-testing of new-and-improved approaches to raising awareness, funds, and resources needed to more effectively fulfill our mission.

The primary responsibilities associated with this position will involve:

1) Researching best practices for each of three areas: client- & community-focused outreach, donor- & volunteer focused outreach, and donor engagement & cultivation.
2) Work under supervision of the Executive Director and in consultation with respective Board of Directors committees to design a strategic plan for each of those three areas.
3) Use plans to guide the development of a data collection protocol to ensure that the West Seattle Helpline is gathering and communicating the quantitative and qualitative impact data needed for optimal execution of each plan.
4) Oversee the launch of strategic plans in a “pilot phase” to allow for testing, revision, and re-testing in an iterative quality-improvement process.
