Description
Lead community projects to address the social determinants of health and poverty. Make positive impact while gaining experience for your resume! The VISTA will develop community programs that have real impact on the opioid epidemic. Three targets will guide program development: increase resilience and self-worth in at-risk youth, expand medication take-back, and create positive social frameworks for individuals in recovery. Projects can be tailored to the VISTAs specific interests and linked to their passion.
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. Our VISTAs build and strengthen systems in order to increase their sites capacity to provide these services to those who need them most.
