In its fight against poverty, the AmeriCorps*VISTA program, under the direction of Linda Stringfellow, is now accepting applications for project host sites and fulltime members.<\/p>\n

Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) members focus on building sustainable programs by strengthening an organization\u2019s infrastructure, expanding community partnerships and securing long-term resources.<\/p>\n

The requirements and cost for a partnership with the VISTA Program begin with the assignment of a site supervisor. Responsibilities include creating a work plan, ensuring that performance is aligned with specific goals and objectives, and attending required trainings for continued success as a VISTA host site.<\/p>\n

VISTA members will receive, in exchange for a 12-month commitment to service, a modest living stipend, an end of term education award or cash stipend, student loan forbearance or deferment, priceless skill development and much more.<\/p>\n

In combatting illiteracy, health concerns and economic despair, some VISTA efforts may include implementing marketing campaigns, coordinating educational workshops, recruiting other volunteers or even responding to disasters.<\/p>\n

Those interested in the program are invited to attend a \u201cGetting to Know Us\u201d session conducted by Program Associate for Marketing and Recruiting, Lakisha L. Butler.\u00a0 Call 662-846-4848 or e-mail kbutler@deltastate.edu<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
