Capacity Building & Volunteer Coordinator - Potter's House

The Potter's House Ministries serves individuals and families in Scioto County who are experiencing economic hardship by providing access to essential resources, community programs, and supportive services. As demand for services continues to grow, the organization seeks to strengthen internal systems that support long-term sustainability and effective service delivery. This Ameri Corps VISTA program focuses on building organizational capacity through the development of streamlined grant writing processes and sustainable volunteer systems.

The VISTA member will strengthen efforts to improve how funding opportunities are tracked and managed, ensuring greater consistency and efficiency in securing resources that support programs addressing poverty. In addition, the program emphasizes strengthening the organization's volunteer infrastructure by creating systems that enhance volunteer recruitment, retention, training, and engagement. By improving volunteer readiness and continuity, the organization will be better equipped to support multiple programs and community events with well-prepared volunteers.

Through these capacity-building efforts, the Ameri Corps VISTA program will leave The Potter's House Ministries with stronger internal systems, improved sustainability, and an increased ability to serve individuals and families experiencing poverty well beyond the VISTA member's term of service.
