Faith and Fostering Fund Development Associate

Faith and Fostering is a non-profit organization serving northwest Louisiana providing homeless youth and young adults with safe housing and a place to rebuild and grow, and serves at-risk youth and young adults that have unstable housing and are at-risk of becoming homeless. F & F also works to empower young adults with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in today's job market.

The program is founded and operated on Christian values to foster homeless young adults who are ages 18-24, self-referred, unaccompanied and homeless (may be aging out of foster care or in extended foster care), and dedicated to working toward independent living through community and connections to live a life of hope and purpose. This VISTA will coordinate fundraising efforts of the organization to strengthen the sustainability of F&F and improve its ability to fulfill its mission.
