AmeriCorps*VISTA (Volunteers In Service to America) is looking to bring two members on to create programs that address homelessness and poverty in Northeast Ohio. We are working on Civil Rights, starting a statewide organization, and assisting people with re-entering after a period of incarceration.

You’ll earn a living allowance, and at the end of your service, you’ll receive an educational award or stipend to pay for school or pay off student loans. November 2005-November 2006.
