Description
Go where the need is greatest, join the AmeriCorps VISTA program and help fight poverty.
Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) members, ages 18 and older, perform capacity building activities, over a course of a year, through private non-profit organizations and public agencies. VISTA members address issues in their community related to poverty, such as public health, education, the environment, public safety, and employment, by developing and mobilizing resources that create long-term sustainable benefits at a community level.
Members serving in the AmeriCorps VISTA program serve full time for one-year terms. Another option to serve is the AmeriCorps VISTA Summer Associate program which offers individuals the opportunity to become engaged in a community through an existing AmeriCorps VISTA project for 8, 9, or 10 weeks during the summer starting in May and ending no later than early September.
Members receive a modest bi-weekly living allowance to cover basic living expenses. Additionally, AmeriCorps VISTA is the only AmeriCorps program that allows members to earn federal non-competitive eligibility (NCE), giving members an edge in the federal hiring process.
Lastly, as an End of Service Award, members can choose between a Segal Education Award (valued at approximately $6,495) to pay for a range of education expenses or a $1,800 cash stipend.
