Americorps VISTA positions open

Three VISTA positions are available for a one year term beginning in November 2011. AmeriCorps VISTA is a national service program designed to fight poverty, where VISTA members commit to building the capacity of organizations. During your service, you will receive a modest living allowance ($10,000), health care; and upon completing your service, you may choose to receive a Segal Education Award or post service stipend. Having a modest living allowance helps volunteers to understand and assist those in poverty.  The deadline for applications is August 24, 2011. Please visit the AmeriCorps website and search for the “Grand Vision to Grand Action” project to apply.
