Description
VYCC’s mission is to teach young people personal responsibility through meaningful paid work that connects us to the land, community, and one another. We are committed to giving opportunities to young women, at-risk youth, low-income youth, and other traditionally underserved and underrepresented young people in the conservation and farming sectors. There are 3 VISTA positions available: The VYCC Development & Marketing VISTA will focus on four major projects: manage our alumni outreach and relations; assist in fundraising for our Food and Farm’s Health Care Share program; manage our annual online Holiday Auction; work with the Development and Marketing team to strengthen our recruitment of low-income Vermonters for our programs. 2 VISTAs at the Farm at VYCC will support expansion of the Health Care Share. We are delivering HCS in four regions, with plans to partner with all Vermont medical centers by 2019. The Member will collaborate with medical center partners to convene food teams in each
community.
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.
