AmeriCorps VISTA
In support of our mission for a thriving, healthy, and resilient community, the United Way works with the AmeriCorps Program to place VISTA members with local nonprofit health and human service agencies.
AmeriCorps VISTA members put their passion into action by serving full time at a local community nonprofit for 1 year.
Every year each member serves 35+ hours per week for full year.
May 2025: Due to federal funding changes to AmeriCorps, new VISTA opportunities are currently unavailable. If positions become available, they will be found on our Careers page.
