system, address the social and economic interests of clients, and confront the underlying causes of poverty, discrimination and inequality. There are two positions available. Community Legal Education Project: initiatives will include access to health care, outreach to immigrant and refugee communities, tax education, affordable housing, and housing discrimination .

The SerVermont VISTA Program is a comprehensive umbrella project that welcomes host sites tackling a wide array of poverty related issues in Vermont. We place members in organizations and state agencies to fight poverty across the state by increasing education and job-training opportunities, fighting the opioid epidemic creating more food-secure communities, increasing safe and affordable housing, and serving veterans and military families.
