BMC Children HealthWatch Development Associate - Boston, United States - Americorps

Description

BMC Children HealthWatch Development Associate

Children's HealthWatch has extensive research that demonstrates the impact of poverty and hunger on health.

Informed by this evidence, we focus on solutions to support families with low incomes, so leaders and decision makers can prevent and mitigate these circumstances.

However, the challenge of regularly and effectively communicating this research with stakeholders and decision makers through social media and traditional media outlets, as well as the capacity for comprehensive communications strategies, has impeded the impact of our research.

The Children's HealthWatch AmeriCorps VISTA program will expand current Children's HealthWatch efforts and prior AmeriCorps VISTA capacity by leveraging the expertise of a VISTA volunteer to strategically design and implement an effective development strategy focused on individual giving and a major fundraising event rooted in racial equity that will ultimately build long-term sustainability within our organization and address hunger and poverty in the US.

The AmeriCorps VISTA Development Associate will work closely with and under the guidance of the Children's HealthWatch leadership team to strengthen our individual giving, fundraising events, Advisory Board development, and promote equity in all aspects of the organization's communications work.
