AMERICORPS
VISTA PROJECT
AmeriCorps Vista Project
WV’s Promise Youth Alliance, Inc. is currently accepting applications from non-profit organizations, schools and state agencies to gain a VISTA resource to focus on developing, enhancing and sustaining educational programs focusing on fulfilling the Five Promises for children & youth. VISTAs members serve to strengthen and supplement efforts to eliminate and alleviate poverty, and to increase funding resources to support programs. VISTA resources are used to provide a sustainable solution to poverty, not just making poverty more tolerable. All Promise VISTA Site Projects must be developed in accordance with AmeriCorps VISTA's core principles: an anti-poverty focus; community empowerment; sustainable solutions; and capacity building.
How Can Your Organization Apply for a VISTA Resource?
To be eligible for a VISTA resource, your organization must be a public, private, or faith-based nonprofit, or a local or state agency. If your organization is interested in becoming a Partner Host Site for a Promise VISTA please fill out the Host Site Application.
How Do Candidates Apply to Serve as a VISTA Member?
