Job description
25-26 Financial Stability Network Events Coordinator - DC

Catholic Charities' FSN assists low- and moderate-income individuals and families with financial education to help them reduce debt, prepare their tax returns, and navigate financial budgeting and planning for the future. The pro bono assistance services we offer include financial mentoring where individuals and families meet with a trained financial mentor several hours each month to review the value of money, budgeting techniques, financial management, debt reduction, credit management, banking services, housing options, and retirement planning. Catholic Charities' FSN also offers financial education which focuses on a range of financial topics offered throughout the year in-person or virtually (via Zoom). The VISTA will support FSN events, which are a "hands-on way" for volunteers to see the work we do, enabling them to participate in ways that bring self-sufficiency to clients. The VISTA will create a replicable and sustainable events strategy that outlines our mission clearly and defines components of success in articulating that mission. Events are a means to show the barriers that clients encounter and how FSN's services bring them financial stability. The VISTA will document the process and ensure it is consistent and replicable. This VISTA position is a part of Catholic Charities USA's Family Strengthening Program, a national intermediary project. As a member, you will meet virtually with VISTA Leaders and other VISTAs serving throughout the country, all focused on alleviating poverty.
