**This position will be: Hybrid: In-Person and Remote**   Founded in 1994 by Vietnamese refugees and immigrants, VietAID was established as a response to a community wide need for human services, childcare, and a safe place to commune and celebrate. Now in our 25th year of service, we are proud to continue to uphold our founders' vision, opening our doors everyday to hundreds of community members, from all backgrounds and walks of life. The organization was created in response to a lack of services for families and individuals in the area, and over time grew to accommodate those needs, including childcare, affordable housing, youth development and leadership, and senior day programming. In 2001, one of those needs grew to be a safe space for the community to gather; VietAID, along with the support of a multicultural organizing committee, responded to this by designing and constructing what is now the Vietnamese American Community Center (VACC). It became a place where folks could seek safety, sense of belonging, and comfort for themselves and their families; having a place named for and after the diaspora evoked pride in the immigrants and refugees, who not only had to rebuild their lives in a foreign country, but otherwise did not have much cultural familiarity elsewhere. To this day, VietAID continues to operate out of the VACC, along with several other community partner organizations. On a typical day, the community center is shared by over 250 people, a majority of whom are children and elders seeking services. The hallmark of VietAID's programming is its comprehensive nature, even recently prompting an informal motto that our programs accommodate those from 2 years 9 months, in our bilingual, bicultural preschool, to 102 years old, in our senior day program; that century span reflects our belief that in order to build and maintain a strong community, we must advocate for all those in need. Here at VietAID, we aim to provide resources and guidance with linguistic capacity, cultural competence, and accessibility woven into our approach. Our programming staff is often comprised of those who are from the very communities we serve, truly making our organization of and for the community. There is a relatability and sensitivity we apply to our approach that marks our program as uniquely qualified to serve not just the large Vietnamese American population in Dorchester, but also many of the underrepresented community members in the Boston area, including immigrants/refugees, low-income families and individuals, and others in need.

**This position will be: Hybrid: In-Person and Remote**   The saying "starving artist" didn't come out of nowhere. According to the Center for Cultural Innovation and the National Endowment for the Arts, "Making a living as an artist has never been easy, but broader economic trends such as rising costs of living, greater income inequality, high levels of debt, and insufficient protections for "gig economy" workers are putting increasing pressure on artists' livelihoods." In Massachusetts especially, with some of the highest costs of living in the country, it's difficult to follow your dreams, even if they can change the world. At TCP we're changing that. The Transformative Culture Project works with youth and adult artists to help them create social and economic power through their art.
