Lifepath Community Outreach and Resident Engagement Systems

Lifepath Apostolic AGAPE House of Prayer sponsors the Moahs Ark Workforce Capacity Building Initiative, an Ameri Corps VISTA project that builds capacity to address poverty among low-income and unemployed residents of Hamilton County and Greater Cincinnati, Ohio. During a full-time, one-year assignment, the Community Outreach and Resident Engagement Systems VISTA will help Lifepath develop sustainable ways to communicate workforce opportunities and gather community input.

The member will design outreach strategies and materials, feedback tools, a Community Advisory Council framework, and Community Ambassador Program guidance for staff and partners to use. Applicants should be organized, collaborative, and skilled in communication, writing, and community engagement. Members gain experience in nonprofit communications, outreach planning, resident-centered program design, and evaluation through supervision and Ameri Corps training. Lifepath operates as a Virtual Service Site and permits teleservice for this VISTA assignment.

The member will perform capacity-building activities using Lifepath-authorized online collaboration and information systems while remaining available for required in-person project meetings, training, and community activities. The member must reside within a reasonable commuting distance of the Greater Cincinnati and Hamilton County community served and complete the applicable Teleservice and Virtual Service Site Request and Agreement through My Ameri Corps. Lifepath provides an organization-issued laptop, approved software, and necessary service equipment.

Activities focus on nonreligious organizational capacity building, not direct client services. For more information, contact pastordawn.
