Who We Are: The Independence Seekers Project (ISP) is a disability-led organization in Louisville, KY, located at the accessible Louisville Pride Center. ISP centers adults with developmental disabilities to dismantle the disability-poverty trap.

What Members Will Do: As the ISP Community Health and Peer Leadership Coordinator VISTA, you will build community-facing referral networks and operational systems that connect isolated disabled individuals to care and peer support, directly driving Health Knowledge (H17) outcomes and poverty alleviation. Establish referral pipeline systems with public schools and healthcare partners using plain-language tools. Expand ISP''s flagship Unconference into a scalable statewide peer-leadership summit framework. Formalize internal policy handbooks, digital intake workflows, and consent systems to scale capacity to 150 participants. Skills Needed: Dynamic community organizers and systems thinkers passionate about health equity, self-advocacy, and Disability Justice. Why Join: Develop skills in public health systems design, event leadership, and advocacy framework building. Program Dates: 11/16/2026 - 11/15/2027.
