HFH Wisconsin has run a statewide AmeriCorps VISTA program since 2012. In that time over 200 full-time and summer associate members have served with affiliates all around the state. They’ve recruited over 2,258 volunteers who have served over 171,046 hours, and they’ve raised $2.23 million in cash and another $2.2 million in-kind.
Does your organization need help with fundraising, marketing, or volunteer management? Are you still figuring out how to pivot your services and programs?
We’re reopening our application process for Habitat affiliates and other Wisconsin nonprofits to host a VISTA member to help you not just survive, but thrive. We're revamping our VISTA program to give your organization and your VISTA the tools to succeed:
$400/month program fee per VISTA member (through April 2021) - reduced from $541/month!
Training that focuses on resource development with our current situation in mind - including virtual events and social media campaigns - and leadership development
Members could start as soon as October (or Jan & April 2021 )
For more information, visit www.habitatwisconsin.org/vista-host or contact Jenny Hartwell. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, but the sooner you apply, the sooner your member can start.
