This VISTA position is a part of Catholic Charities USA’s Family Strengthening Program, a national intermediary project. As a member, you will meet virtually with VISTA Leaders and other VISTAs serving throughout the country, all focused on alleviating pain through disaster service. On August 29, 2021, South Louisiana was hit by Hurricane Ida and the areas of Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes were considered “ground zero” we have been helping and working on this devastation since that day. We are now in the process of rebuilding our community one home at a time, and we plan to leave no one behind. Catholic Charities of Houma Thibodaux (CCHT) is also responsible for feeding, housing, immigration and veteran’s services. It is not possible to do all of this with paid employees alone, and we rely heavily on the support of volunteers. We need a viable means of recruiting, managing and caring for the needs of our volunteers. This program will start with a volunteer management system and then building procedures to support the system along with a structure to maintain the long-term viability of the program when the VISTA has departed.
