IBCC Community Engagement Coordinator VISTA

The Community Engagement Program at Independence Boulevard Christian Church (IBCC) will bring people together across economic and cultural backgrounds to build beloved community by sharing resources, enjoying live entertainment, and transforming systemic barriers.

Member Duties : A goal of this project is to assess and improve the Community Engagement program. The VISTA will establish a Farmers’/Vendors’/Artists’ Market that can be both indoors and outdoors, year-round. This goal needs to be assessed for viability and then optimized for the realistic interest in our area. In response to some neighbors sharing an interest in teaching art, cooking, martial arts, dance, nonviolent communication, and other skills, IBCC will host classes that benefit both the teacher and participants. The Community Engagement Coordinator will recruit teachers, promote classes, and further skill-share and art class programs in the Historic Northeast. The VISTA will also work to schedule and promote concerts and community intersectional events using IBCC stage space.
