Donor & Volunteer Relations VISTA - (Austin, TX)

Do you get excited at the prospect of building something new and knowing your work has the potential to have a longterm, tangible impact? While founded in 1984, NAMI Austin is basically a 33-year old "startup," having hired its 1st executive director just three years ago. Since then, NAMI Austin has been strategically riding a wave of change in the way our community addresses mental health by providing the best mental health education, and support and advocacy programming, all at no cost. To meet the growing needs of the community, we're looking for someone to propel us to the next level by enhancing our volunteer and donor engagement. As a volunteer-driven organization with limited resources, this VISTA position has the potential to have a huge impact on the lives of the thousands of individuals and families in the Austin area affected by mental illness.
