About The Position

The AmeriCorps VISTA Data & Project Coordinator strengthens internal systems for data collection, analysis, scheduling, communication, and project coordination at Catholic Charities of Kansas City–St. Joseph. The role supports interconnected programs addressing food insecurity, housing instability, family stability, workforce development, and other root causes of poverty.

This is a capacity-building position focused on improving organizational sustainability, accountability, and long-term program impact. It does not involve direct client services, counseling, or casework. The member supports program data management and analysis, project tracking, documentation, reporting, and development of reusable processes and tools.
