ABOUT THE POSITION

The Isla Vista Beautiful Program Manager will support implementing the Isla Vista Community Services District’s (IVCSD) goal to Collaborate with local stakeholders to reduce waste, increase sustainability, beautify the community, and better coordinate waste disposal for “Move Out” in June and year round. Establish a new more sustainable status quo for “Move Out” by 2025. This position will also support the implementation of the IVCSD’s goal to Reestablish the District’s Isla Vista Beautiful service by hiring/training a Program Manager and developing a new crew structure as District employees, building a partnership with a non-profit service provider for work experience contracting, and iterating upon the previous version’s protocols/operations (note this is a service that is transitioning from a contract model to an in-house model).

“Move Out” is the time in mid-June each year when leases end and students complete the academic year that results in many residents moving at once.

IVCSD VISION STATEMENT

For Isla Vista, by Isla Vista, building the community we deserve.

ABOUT THE IVCSD

Isla Vista, CA is a close-knit oceanside town along the South-Central Coast in Santa Barbara County. It is known for its youthful atmosphere and the adventurous spirit of its residents. The Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD) was formed in early 2017 (Pursuant to Government Code § 61250) after decades of struggles for self-governance by the residents of this unincorporated community. The District’s adopted 2021-2022 budget includes $1.3 million for community facilities and programs, public safety services, a rental housing mediation program, a community beautification program, a compost collection service, and more. We have a small staff of a General Manager, Assistant General Manager, Community Engagement Director, Community Spaces Manager, Compost Collective Manager, Executive Assistant, and interns; along with many contractors and community partners.
