    Member Duties

    The VISTA will support clients and community engagement by producing a monthly internal newsletter and bimonthly social media posts, identifying client engagement strategies, and drafting a proposal to integrate client feedback. The member will be an integral part of the community engagement team and initiatives, and will develop strategies to integrate client feedback into programs. The member will gather and analyze client feedback by designing a client feedback method, creating a client survey model, and identifying client selection methods and communication channels. After workshopping the client feedback method, the VISTA will integrate the feedback mechanism and present their findings to staff, ultimately strengthening the community engagement program and its impact. This will culminate in the development of community engagement program standard operating procedures (SOPs) integrating the client feedback mechanism into programming for long-term poverty reduction.
