Make a Difference as a Way Finders' AmeriCorps VISTA Volunteer
Are you committed to helping individuals and communities overcome real challenges and thrive? Do you believe in the power of grassroots leadership and want to make a difference where it’s needed most? So do we! Join us as an AmeriCorps VISTA Volunteer with Way Finders and make a meaningful impact today.
A one-year opportunity that can make a lasting impact
Since 2012, Way Finders has sponsored NeighborWorks AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) members—and benefited greatly from their energy, insight, and dedication. During a one-year opportunity with us, AmeriCorps VISTA members get right to work—by creating or expanding upon a project that helps address issues faced by low-income communities.
As a part of the Way Finders Community Building & Engagement team, AmeriCorps VISTA members:
- Receive a living allowance and an educational award or a cash stipend
- Attend a national training institute
- Develop data management systems
- Assist with grant proposals
- Learn new skills
Qualifications
- Strong oral and written communication skills
- Strong ability to multi-task and work independently or as part of a team
- Familiarity with Microsoft Office Suite
- Preferred bi-lingual English/Spanish
