For more than four decades, Strong City Baltimore has been a proud sponsor of the AmeriCorps VISTA program. VISTA members serve for 365 days as full-time volunteers at a nonprofit organization, community group, or government agency. They work to eradicate poverty by fighting illiteracy, improving health services, strengthening community groups, and much more. Strong City sponsored VISTA members are passionate, committed, and hard working individuals who can leverage their skills and experiences to eradicate poverty. Strong City sponsored VISTA members receive a solid foundation of skills they can use as a springboard for careers in government, nonprofits, education, and much more.
Strong City has begun accepting applications for 7 positions to begin November 2018 in the following focus areas:
- Economic Opportunity
- Education
- Healthy Futures
Each of the positions listed will receive the same benefits from partnering with Strong City Baltimore, including: biweekly living stipend, connecting with a group of VISTAs serving in Maryland, monthly professional development trainings, monthly transportation reimbursement (up to $35), support from Strong City staff and VISTA Leaders, and more!
