LearnServe Communications VISTA

Learn Serve’s mission is to equip high school students from diverse backgrounds with the entrepreneurial vision, tenacity, confidence, and leadership skills needed to tackle social challenges at home and abroad as part of our after school program. Just as important, students learn about themselves and their power as leaders equipped to make positive change. Learn Serve’s VISTA project will deepen programming and expand our community with the goal to give even more young people the opportunity to become leaders and changemakers.

Learn Serve is located in Washington, DC, a hub for education, government, and non‑profit sectors, offering unique experiences in the nation’s capital. Learn Serve is growing to serve even more young people across the country (and world!), and the Communications VISTA will be key in helping us engage our community in new ways.

• Develop and implement a communications plan to elevate Learn Serve’s programming and future plans, including student stories, impact data, and program overviews across print, social media, video/youtube, etc.
• Develop a new and creative communications strategy, such as a social media campaign, to share organizational and student impact.
• Build out and sustain Learn Serve’s website as a dynamic and accessible storytelling and engagement tool.

• Belief in the power of young people to create change!
• Passion for youth development and leadership
• Excellent communication skills, and specifically writing and storytelling
• Team player, and excited to work collaboratively on team projects
• Willingness to learn and develop new skills
• Experience in project development and management, with an eye for detail
• Ability to think creatively and critically in developing new ideas and strategies
• Experience in graphic design and web design

The Communications VISTA will work collaboratively with our Development team to increase outreach and engagement in our community. The VISTA will lead key projects such as creative storytelling, elevating impact through social media, and designing innovative communications strategies to peak interest and engagement. The VISTA will also contribute to the overall success of our VISTA team, often collaborating with other VISTAs on various projects.

All VISTAs will participate in professional development, explore Washington, DC, and participate in fun activities as we grow as a team.
