Greater Homewood Community Corporation (GHCC) is currently seeking applications from partner agencies to host a full-time VISTA member as part of our 2012 – 2013 AmeriCorps VISTA Project!
AmeriCorps VISTA is a national program designed specifically to fight poverty. VISTA members commit to serve full-time for a year at a nonprofit organization or local government agency, working to fight illiteracy, improve health services, create businesses, strengthen community groups, and much more. With passion, commitment, and hard work, VISTA members create or expand programs designed to bring individuals and communities out of poverty.
GHCC manages the recruitment of all VISTA members and we provide them with support and training throughout their year of service, giving them the tools they need to succeed in their positions. Partner sites are responsible for the implementation and execution of the specific VISTA project.
Organizations wishing to partner with GHCC for our 2012 – 2013 project must first apply by submitting a concept paper and project plan. Please download the Request for Concept Papers and Project Plans, which provides detailed instructions for how to complete that application. Interested agencies are also encouraged to evaluate the 2012 VISTA Program Guidance document for detailed information about the types of projects that VISTAs are intended to complete. Finally, for applicants who want some hands on assistance, we will hold an informal Pre-Proposal Workshop on January 10 at 5:30 PM at our main office, which is located at 3503 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218.
For more than two decades, GHCC has been a proud sponsor of the AmeriCorps VISTA program and we are pleased to invite you to take part in this wonderful national service opportunity.
