Data Analyst AmeriCorps VISTA

Organization Overview: 

The Rhode Island Free Clinic (www.rifreeclinic.org) is nationally recognized for its volunteer/community partner model. In 2025 the Clinic mobilized an active statewide corps of over 450 medical volunteers, support professionals, and community partners throughout RI to provide over 5,600 patient visits and serve as a medical home to uninsured, low-income RI adults. We believe in strengthening our community by giving people resources and education to help themselves. The Clinic also serves as a training site for aspiring healthcare professionals. Services and training are provided at the Clinic’s state-of-the-art, 8,000 square foot facility in Providence, and around RI at sites of collaborating partners. 

The Rhode Island Free Clinic seeks a highly motivated Data Analyst AmeriCorps VISTA to strengthen the Clinic’s data systems, reporting processes, and ability to measure and communicate impact.
