Description
This council works towards full coordination between state and local governments, in prevention, treatment, recovery and enforcement. Council staff and members regularly visit communities to listen, identify, and gain insights for best practices and solutions. The VISTA member will support assessment of substance abuse services available across the state (e.g. prevention in schools, recovery housing); facilitate the development of mentoring and toolkits to support creation of community-based coalitions; and develop communications and data tools for the Council and its staff.
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.
