Host an AmeriCorps*VISTA, with Generations Incorporated
AN OVERVIEW OF THE AMERICORPS*VISTA PROGRAM
AmeriCorps*VISTA
(Volunteers in Service to America) provides full-time volunteers
to community based organizations and public agencies to create and
expand programs that bring low-income individuals and communities
out of poverty. In fiscal year 2007, more than 6,000 VISTA members
will leverage human, financial, and material resources to increase
the capacity of thousands of low-income communities across the country
to solve their own problems.
The Generations Incorporated VISTA program will place 15 VISTA
members in Massachusetts based non-profit organizations in August
of 2007. All members will be placed in organizations who serve low-income
populations in one of the following categories: Services for older
adults (organizations who engage older adults in volunteer roles
or who support older adults through a variety of services); Children’s
Literacy (Organizations who help children to succeed as they are
learning to read); Civic Engagement.
Your VISTA member will serve full time at your organization for
a period of 12 months (August 2007 through August 2008).
For additional information about VISTA see the Corporation’s
AmeriCorps
