Eco3 AmeriCorps VISTA Program
Work with local organizations on important community issues and take home an education award at the end of your year of service!
AmeriCorps VISTA members serve for a year building the capacity of local non-profit organizations and public agencies in the Northland with the ultimate goal of eradicating poverty. The Eco3 VISTA Corps focuses on addressing poverty holistically from various angles such as food access and systems, government policy, community development, education, public health, creative place making, energy security and more.
Eco3 VISTA members work with organizations that are deeply embedded in community to help develop solutions to community challenges through leveraging resources, building partnerships, expanding reach and improving organizational efficiency.
While serving their communities, Eco3 VISTA members also gain valuable experience and access to professional development opportunities, become a part of a passionate and service-oriented cohort, and upon completion of service, take home an education award or cash stipend.
