AAIA is currently recruiting an Americorps*VISTA member to work as an Internet Development Coordinator in our Rockville, Maryland office. This public service position is a continuation of efforts started in 2009. The role of the VISTA would be to continue the development and implementation of an Internet fundraising program for our organization. This would be part of a larger fundraising effort that includes direct mail, bequests, foundation and government grants and workplace giving campaigns. Ultimately, we anticipate that the VISTA will be able to continue to develop our capacity to raise funds over the Internet by tapping into and developing a variety of approaches which would include, among other things: registering with search engines, banner advertising working with portals, partnerships and other types of online promotions, continue building e-mail lists, e-news-letters, broadcast e-mails, and marketing through such mechanisms as My Space and You Tube. The position is expected to be filled by September 30, but may be sooner. Applicants also have to apply directly to the Americorps*VISTA Program. There is a commitment of 1 year. VISTA members receive a weekly living allowance of approximately $14,000 per year, possible additional housing stipend, health benefits, training, deferment of student loans, hiring preference when applying for federal government positions and an educational stipend of approximately $5,000. Applicants should forward a resume and cover letter to Lisa Wyzlic at lw.aaia@verizon.net or fax to 240-314-7159. Please note that the position is 40 hours per week. VISTA's may not hold any additional employment and may not be full time students. Feel free to contact Lisa Wyzlic at the e-mail above with any questions.
