AmeriCorps*
VISTA
is a national service program run directly by the Corporation for National and
Community Service. For over 40 years,
VISTA
has been dedicated to working with agencies in communities to help further local
efforts in alleviating poverty. Individuals work full time for one year at nonprofit
organizations and public agencies to recruit community volunteers, raise funds,
help manage projects, and otherwise build the capacity of non-profit organizations
to become sustainable. The United Way of the Piedmont sponsors 17 AmeriCorps*VISTA
sites in
Spartanburg
County
.
AmeriCorps*VISTA is open to
U.S.
citizens or lawful permanent residents age 18 and older. During their year of
service, members receive a living allowance, as well as health care benefits,
childcare allowance and training. Upon successful completion of their service,
members receive either an AmeriCorps Education Award of $4,725 to pay for college,
graduate school, or to pay back qualified student loans, or a $1,200 stipend.
