AmeriCorps*VISTA was created to help organizations build capacity to help alleviate poverty in communities. Full-time volunteers work with host sites for one year completing projects ranging from volunteer management, resource development, marketing/outreach, new program development, and much more. Please check out the RFP and additional information about the CSC ‘Building Bridges’ AmeriCorps*VISTA Program.
As an FYI, in the first three years of ‘Building Bridges’, VISTA members have:
• Raised more than $1.5 million in financial resources for their host sites
• Recruited 820 community volunteers who have served more than 16,000 hours
• Created 200+ community collaborations and partnerships
• Developed new programs to support family literacy, end homelessness, provide health and nutrition education, create mentoring opportunities and much, much more.
Also, if you could please spend a few minutes of your time and help us distribute this information to other non-profits across Linn, Benton and Lincoln counties, we would much appreciate it! Faith-based organizations, schools, cities or counties are all eligible to host a member and become part of the program.
Please contact Tifani, Building Bridges Program Coordinator, at 541-758-2641 for more information.
