Become a Sponsoring Agency

As the AmeriCorps*VISTA Intermediary for the Mid-South region, Volunteer Mid-South helps local nonprofits fully utilize VISTA resources.  The goals of VISTA at Volunteer Mid-South and Sub-recipients sites are:

·  Infrastructure Development

·  Human Resource Development

·  Financial Resource Development

·  Community Partnership Development

Each VISTA member has his/her individual Volunteer Assignment Description (VAD) including one or more of these goals and specific activities associated with each goal, as appropriate to that agency’s needs.  Once your concept paper has been accepted, we'll help you to develop the VAD for your VISTA member.  The outcome envisioned by the VAD must in some way be sustainable without the member’s efforts after his term of service is complete.  A VISTA member’s progress is measured in terms of achieving these set goals, but also and ultimately by whether the sustainability outcome is met. 

Become a VISTA Sponsor

Public, private, and faith-based nonprofit organizations-as well as local, state and federal organizations-can benefit greatly from linking up with AmeriCorps VISTA. Project sponsors are not required to provide a financial match but must be able to direct the project, supervise the members, and provide necessary administrative support to complete the goals and objectives of the project.
