      to Host AmeriCorps VISTA Members

      The City of Charleston will be submitting its AmeriCorps VISTA Renewal Application in February 2021 and, in advance of that, will be selecting the VISTA host sites for the upcoming member year.  To that end, they seek applicants to host a VISTA for a one-year term of service.  The VISTA will work full time with your organization to build capacity for your organization to meet client needs.

      • AmeriCorps VISTA is…the national service program of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) designed specifically to fight poverty. The program supports local efforts by engaging members in a one-year, full-time service year with a local organization.  All VISTA projects seek to build the capacity and sustainability of local organizations and agencies to serve their clients more effectively. Visit the AmeriCorps VISTA website for more information.
      •  A Virtual Informational Meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 6, 9:00-10:30 AM.  Please email Mindy Sturm at sturmm@charleston-sc.gov to register.  It is strongly recommended that a representative from your organization attend if you plan to apply, particularly if you will be a new applicant
