Project proposals are now being accepted from college and university campuses (and partnering schools, government and nonprofits) interested in hosting one or more AmeriCorps VISTA members during the 2024-2025 service year. These year-long projects can be scheduled to take place from August 2024 to August 2025. We support AmeriCorps VISTA service member placements with colleges, universities, schools, nonprofits, and government agencies in order to build organizational efficiency, efficacy, and program reach by completing one-year, capacity building projects. VISTAs may be recruited locally from local graduates, or from the national pool. Staff recommend a recruitment strategy that creates a pipeline for local graduates to spend a year building capacity at their alma mater!
