Breathe SoCal Health Outreach VISTA

The Health Outreach VISTA member will expand community outreach, education, and grant capacity to improve health, air quality, and job training access for disadvantaged communities in Southern California. The VISTA member will support our nonprofit’s mission to improve air quality, public health, and workforce development by expanding outreach efforts, strengthening partnerships, and increasing grant capacity. Through community engagement, the VISTA member will connect with local health organizations, environmental groups, schools, and community centers to enhance program reach and build a strong network of partners. Key responsibilities include developing strategies and developing the capacity for outreach events, workshops, and webinars to educate residents on air pollution’s impact on lung health and ways to reduce exposure. The VISTA member will also develop educational materials such as flyers, infographics, and social media content to effectively communicate program goals and track engagement success. Additionally, they will implement networking opportunities among community stakeholders, government agencies, nonprofits, and other institutions to foster collaboration and expand program capacity. The VISTA member’s service will help increase volunteer engagement and provide greater support to under-resourced communities across Southern California. By focusing on these outreach efforts, the VISTA member will play a key role in empowering communities with the knowledge and resources to improve public health, access workforce training, and build resilience against environmental challenges.
