AmeriCorps*VISTA General Information

AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) is a national service program that, for more than 40 years, has been in the forefront of helping communities to help themselves fight poverty.  VISTA members devote a year or more of their lives to challenge poverty’s root causes.  They do this by mobilizing community volunteers and local resources, and by increasing the capacity of people in low-income communities to rely on themselves.  AmeriCorps*VISTA is a program of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) which has identified four cross-program priorities to focus on over the five years from 2006 to 2010: Mobilizing More Volunteers; Ensuring a Brighter Future for All of America’s Youth; Engaging Students in Communities; Harnessing Baby Boomers’ Experience.  Within these CNCS priority areas, PACC- VISTA members work to build campus-community collaboration with regard to the following 08-09 VISTA Priorities and Strategic Initiatives Financial Asset Development, Mentoring Fostered Youth, Ex-Offender and Families’ Re-entry, Rural Community Development, Tribal Community Development, Immigrant Community Development, Engaging Students In Service, Disaster Preparedness and/or Relief and Recovery, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.  Because these positions are designed to build capacity, VISTA members may not participate in direct service to the community. 

PACC-VISTA members will:

• Build capacity for communities to ameliorate issues related to low-income communities and poverty;
• Have a college degree or three years of related volunteer experience;
• Commit to serving as a full-time VISTA for one year (if the VISTA leaves prior to one year, even at the beginning of the year, the site will not receive another VISTA for that year);
• Receive a monthly/annual allowance of approximately $865/$10,380 and receive health insurance coverage costs (CNCS pays these costs);
• Receive a post-service education award of $4,725 OR a $1,200 cash stipend upon completion of year of service.  (If VISTA leaves early, it is highly unlikely they will receive any stipend or education award - only in rare cases of medical leave would it be prorated);
• Attend a five-day pre-service orientation July 28, 2008 through August 1, 2008 (all costs for this training will be covered by CNCS) and at least three other trainings/retreats as prescribed by PACC and CNCS;
• Participate in national days of service including Martin Luther King Day, National Volunteer Week, Youth Service Day, and Make a Difference Day.
