West Virginia's Promise - The Alliance for Youth is Now Accepting Applications for Summer Associate VISTA Sites
West Virginia’s Promise-The Alliance for Youth, AmeriCorps VISTA Project is providing applications to non-profit organizations/schools/state agencies to gain Summer Associate (SA) VISTA(s) resource to provide the Five Promises to children and youth.
To expand the VISTA Project each year an Administration Fee of $1,000 per SA VISTA resource will be expected to be paid by each Host Site along with a signed Memorandum of Understanding.
The Summer Associate program allows for organizations to supplement their anti-poverty activities with an infusion of "hands-on volunteers" during the summer months. Unlike year-round VISTAs, Summer Associates can perform direct service activities, serving as mentors and coordinators. The summer program is a prime opportunity to introduce individuals, particularly college-age students, to national service with the hope it will lead to their participation in full-time programs later on.
The Summer Associate program offers individuals the opportunity to participate for either 8, 9 or 10 weeks. Members serve a minimum of 35 hours per week.
