Member Duties : While POAH has been active in Woodlawn for more than a decade, there is still much to learn about how best to stabilize and serve its low-income households. The Resident Engagement Coordinator will develop resident leadership skills and opportunities in three main areas of activity: strengthen access to community resources and engagement with the surrounding community, improve household stability through understanding individual household needs, and empower low-income families to access resources that fit their individualized needs. The VISTA will create and distribute survey tools, coordinate group and individual meetings, maintain a database of resources, and develop relationships with local partners. They will coordinate our Intergenerational Oral and Archival History Project to identify and support youth and long-term residents in sharing their experiences.
