Coordinator, GreenLight Fund (Multiple Sites) Organization Overview  GreenLight Fund is a national nonprofit with a local focus that partners with communities to create opportunities for inclusive prosperity.  Each year we facilitate a community-driven process that matches the local needs of individuals and families not met by existing programs, to organizations with track records of success elsewhere. Working with communities, we identify, invite in and launch proven organizations, providing collaborative support so they can quickly take root and deliver change.  Everything we do is designed to remove barriers to inclusive prosperity all too often rooted in racial inequities. Our impact increases exponentially as we address one specific, community-identified need each year, in each GreenLight site.  Since 2004, we have launched 44 portfolio organizations across eleven sites, invested $30.5M, and attracted an additional $206M from other funding sources, reaching more than 550,000 individuals and families last year alone.

In 2022, we brought in Let Everyone Advance with Dignity, a public health approach to community safety, designed to provide intensive, holistic care to individuals cycling in and out of the legal system. To add to our portfolio, we are currently focusing on Black and Indigenous Maternal Health as well as Mental Health for Black and Brown youth.

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee The Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) is the sole organization dedicated to electing Democrats to statehouses. Since 2016, the DLCC and state partners have built eight new majorities and flipped seats from red to blue across the country – paving the way for progress. State legislatures pass the policies that most affect Americans’ day-to-day lives, and flipping chambers from red to blue has an outsized impact on governing and public policy.   Taking back power starts at the local level. The DLCC recruits, trains, and supports local Democrats running for their state legislatures. We provide our candidates with the resources, field support, and data necessary to run smart, winning campaigns. By gaining a foothold in state legislatures, Democrats can engage supporters across the country and prepare for victories in statewide and national elections.   We’re powered by more than 200,000 supporters from all 50 states. Over 98% of our contributions come from grassroots donors (giving an average of $29), who fuel thousands of local Democratic candidates across the country.   Building up Democratic majorities in the states is more important than ever.

BACKGROUND Currently, Fauquier County’s cemeteries are documented in a variety of ways in different databases, books, archives, and other sources. Fauquier County GIS Department has a digital cemetery layer, but many of those cemeteries have not been formally documented. The state Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) has numerous cemeteries listed in Fauquier County, but it’s unclear which ones are also in Fauquier County’s GIS database and which are not. Many other sources exist on maps and in books. None of these sources have ever been compared against each other to create a comprehensive list. Without such a comprehensive record, these resources will continue to be threatened because they haven’t been adequately identified and documented.  DESCRIPTION OF POSITION This position is an internship not to exceed 480 hours.  It is estimated that this person will work 30-40 hours per week over the course of a 12-16 week period. In order to create a comprehensive cemetery list, the intern will use the following sources to compare against each other: VDHR’s Virginia Cultural Resource Inventory System database Fauquier County GIS Cemetery Layer Eugene Scheel maps Afro-American Historical Association’s cemetery records Fauquier County Tombstone Inscriptions by Nancy C. Baird Any other cemetery records housed at Fauquier Historical Society or Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Foundation Any cemetery records located in the Virginiana Room at the Warrenton Branch library The results of this project will be a spreadsheet with associated GIS point layer showing locations of all known cemeteries across the county. The Intern will work with VDHR and Fauquier County to update records so that both databases reflect the same documented cemeteries. This project will provide a tangible community benefit to Fauquier in the form of a single database of historic cemeteries, including many overlooked African-American cemeteries. In addition, it will build PEC’s capacity to research and document historic cemeteries in other areas of the Piedmont by providing a replicable model. AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY The interns will report to Historic Preservation Coordinator and be responsible for the duties outlined below: Completing a training with VDHR to use V-CRIS, the state’s historic resource database Combining currently listed Fauquier County cemeteries at the state and county level into one excel spreadsheet Researching additional sources of cemeteries, including a to-be provided list of books, and maps Meeting (virtually or in-person) with a to-be provided list of local historical organizations to gather additional information on cemetery locations in the county Combining all known cemeteries into one master spreadsheet that minimizes duplication wherever possible Adding locations of these known cemeteries into ArcGIS as data points Data Entry into V-CRIS to update existing cemetery records and/or add new ones based on information gathered in master spreadsheet QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor’s degree required. Background in the fields of history, historic preservation or archaeology is a plus. Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required. Comfortable using Microsoft Office and Google Drive applications COMPENSATION $20.00 per hour BENEFITS As a temporary position, there is no eligibility for fringe benefits.
