Host a VCC AmeriCorps*VISTA Member

AmeriCorps*VISTA Members Can Transform Your Community!

If you are looking to increase your community's capacity to fight poverty and to bridge the gap between the college and its surrounding community to meet community needs and engage faculty, staff and students, then hosting a VCC AmeriCorps*VISTA can be the best first step. Through the work of the AmeriCorps*VISTA member, your site can:

  • Build capacity to address poverty in your community
  • Develop meaningful and lasting partnerships between local agencies and Vermont campuses
  • Foster service-learning initiatives that meet community needs and engage students
  • Promote student leadership through service activities
  • Help create a culture around service and community engagement

The Request For Proposals are due in the VCC office by 5 p.m. on Friday, February 13, 2009. We will have at least 9 VISTA positions available for the 2009-2010 academic year and will inform sites of their acceptance by the first week of March.
