Community Engagement Coordinator

The AmeriCorps VISTA member will build long-term capacity at Community RX Help by developing a sustainable volunteer program and strengthening partnerships with clinics, pharmacies, and local service organizations. These efforts will expand the organization’s ability to connect low-income and uninsured individuals in East Texas with life-saving medications, thereby reducing preventable emergency room visits and helping break the cycle of poverty through improved health outcomes. Over the course of the year, the VISTA will establish a formal volunteer engagement system—including recruitment strategies, training protocols, and retention tools that enable consistent and scalable support for the organization’s core programs. Simultaneously, the VISTA will cultivate and formalize collaborative relationships with community healthcare partners to streamline referrals, coordinate services, and promote mutual resource sharing. These systems will continue to provide value beyond the term of service, ensuring more stable access to essential medications for vulnerable populations and strengthening the network of care across the region. Member Duties Strengthen community partnerships by connecting with local clinics, pharmacies, and service organizations, creating a partnership database, and formalizing at least three agreements. Design and launch a sustainable volunteer program by developing recruitment strategies, onboarding materials, a volunteer handbook, and training tools, with a goal of onboarding at least five new volunteers by March 2027 and collecting feedback to support retention. Institutionalize these systems by documenting all processes in a sustainability toolkit, training staff to use them, and evaluating volunteer confidence and program continuity.
