AMERICORPS*VISTA FOR AFFILIATES Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota and AmeriCorps VISTA have been in partnership for almost a decade. VISTA is an acronym for “Volunteers In Service To America” and is known as the domestic equivalent of the Peace Corps. Volunteers commit to a year of service at a Habitat affiliate with the goal of increasing the organizational capacity of that Habitat affiliate. The VISTA program provides its members the opportunity to gain valuable skills while making a difference in the community. VISTAs with the Habitat program also benefit from an in-depth Leadership Development training program designed to provide personalized instruction on understanding leadership styles and how to build leadership abilities. The focus of the work is to build the organizational capacity of the affiliate – leaving a legacy that will have benefits in the future! Resources for current VISTAs and Supervisors Information on how an affiliate can host a VISTA Summer VISTA for Affiliates The Summer VISTA program is a 10-week program providing members the opportunity to get hands on, direct service experience working with a Habitat affiliate. It also provides affiliates the opportunity to increase their ability to build more homes, or grow programs over the 10 weeks. The majority of the positions are construction related, but some relate to program development or communications. Resources for Summer VISTA to come in Spring 2011 Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota |
