Coach Across America Training VISTA Coach Across America Chicago, IL Job Details Full-time 1 day ago Benefits Health insurance Career development plan Qualifications Writing skills Content writing Bachelor's degree Full Job Description Established in 2010, Coach Across America (CAA) is the nationwide leader in engaging, training and supporting sports coaches to transform youth, programs, and communities. Our AmeriCorps coaching program is the first national service program that challenges young adults to give back to their communities through a year of service as coach-mentors. CAA's research, training, and on-the-ground initiatives empower sports programs across the country to become a united force for meaningful change. To date, CAA has reached over 600,000 youth by placing over 3,000 coaches in underserved urban communities. The CAA Training VISTA will play a crucial role in content design/redesign, expanding our contract-based partner reach, and enhancing current systems and processes while supporting the development of new tools. This will ensure that our vital training can reach more coaches, athletes, students, administrators, and parents that desperately need more support. The Training Team is a passionate group of coach-mentors themselves. They will be able to help the Training VISTA discover a multitude of ways that we can impact our communities and our future through non-profit work. If that interests you, then this is an opportunity like no other. Qualified candidates will have a bachelor's degree, a passion for the mission of CAA, and preferably some coaching experience. Event management or sales experience is preferred but not required. The candidate will be an organized self-starter, work well under pressure, be a strong writer, and have a curiosity for learning about training/adult-learning, coaching, marketing, and research. The position is a one-year term (with potential to renew for a second year) and starts in August of 2026. For more information about CAA, visit www.
