UWOR AmeriCorps VISTA

The UWOR AmeriCorps VISTA program is located in Cleveland, TN and serves Bradley and Polk County. Our program has 25 VISTA members serving at over 17 different non-profits.

We are able to match you with a non-profit that matches your passion and interests. We place VISTA members at non-profits like Habitat for Humanity, Project Free 2 Fly, Foundation House Ministries, City Fields, United Way, and many more. The two biggest benefits that our program provides in addition to all the AmeriCorps benefits is professional development and a monthly grocery stipend.

We have monthly cohort meetings to offer specialized trainings on topics such as volunteer recruitment, grant writing, marketing, social media, etc. We have a partnership with Food City that allows us to offer a monthly $150 Food City gift card that can be used for groceries, gas, and pharmacy. We have rolling start dates so we can start you at almost anytime throughout the year and would love to have you join us to make an impact and alleviate poverty in our community.
