Job Description

Peace in Practice is a North Minneapolis yoga and mindfulness organization fiscally sponsored by Homegrown Lacrosse, a Minneapolis-based 501(c)(3) sports-based youth development organization serving 8,000+ youth annually. Peace in Practice is establishing a new donation-based, BIPOC-serving yoga studio, expanding on existing teacher training, weekly community classes, and youth programming. The organization currently lacks the fundraising infrastructure, teacher training pipelines, partnership networks, and evaluation systems needed to sustain this growth. Without dedicated capacity-building support, Peace in Practice risks losing momentum on a model that could expand access to wellness programming for BIPOC communities. This team of VISTAs will build the systems behind the studio's growth, including donor and fundraising infrastructure, a teacher training pipeline, community partnership strategy, and program quality assessment tools. Goals include a repeatable fundraising process, a documented teacher training curriculum, a growing partner network, and evaluation frameworks that keep programming responsive to community needs as the studio scales.
Member Duties : Build the fundraising, teacher training, partnership, and program evaluation infrastructure needed to launch and sustain Peace in Practice's new donation-based, community-serving yoga studio in North Minneapolis. This project will fight poverty by providing individuals representative of the local community with training and resources related to yoga and wellness so they may create accessible programs supporting healthy futures of those experiencing poverty. The VISTA will establish repeatable systems that allow the studio to scale and remain responsive to community needs well beyond the VISTA team's term of service.
