AmeriCorps VISTA

Want to Give a Year Back? Macon Area Habitat for Humanity routinely works with AmeriCorps VISTA.

VISTA is a one-year, full-time commitment (see the AmeriCorps website )The VISTA volunteer receives a monthly stipend of approximately $700, medical coverage, deferment of student loans during the service period, and either a $1,200 stipend or an education award of $4,725 upon completion of a one-year term of service. The philosophy of AmeriCorps is ?Give back for a year. Serve your community. Change your life.?

This is a wonderful opportunity for someone wanting on-the-job experience in a new career, or considering a career in the nonprofit sector, or for a professional interested in devoting one year to the challenge of designing a sustainable resource program.

All of our VISTA positons are currently full but for more information on how to become an AmeriCorps VISTA and work with other non-proffits in our area please visit the AmeriCorps website.
