The Corporation for National Service with its grantees and partners has launched an effort to exponentially increase the numbers of volunteers who serve their communities to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This initiative includes reaching out to community and faith groups, businesses, educational institutions, nonprofits and individuals to plan and implement projects and serve on this holiday …..but it also includes creating the sustainable infrastructure for the those individuals and institutions to remain connected and provide valuable service in their communities throughout the year, while also providing the foundation for a growing King Day of Service in 2007 and in coming years.
Specifically, if you or anyone you know is interested in serving a year as a VISTA member to work on this expansion effort and are available immediately, please contact the people listed below. Please put King Day of Service VISTA in your subject line.
As you probably know, VISTA provides support for relocation and individuals are eligible to serve a 3rd term in AmeriCorps as a VISTA member (although you are not eligible to receive a 3rd Segal AmeriCorps Education Award).
