About The Position

Improve Your Tomorrow (IYT) is seeking a Governance Systems and Information Architecture VISTA to help build the infrastructure needed to support its rapid growth. IYT's mission is to increase the number of young men of color who attend and graduate from community colleges and universities. Currently, board records, compliance requirements, and institutional knowledge are spread across disconnected systems and rely heavily on individual staff memory. This VISTA member will establish permanent systems designed to function independently of any one staff member and to remain operational long after the member's term ends. The VISTA will focus on three key areas: Information and Data Architecture, Board Governance Operating System, and Governance Policy and Multi-State Compliance.
