AmeriCorps VISTA of Fairbanks

VISTAs Get Things Done! AmeriCorps VISTA of Fairbanks collaborates with local non-profits and public agencies in the Interior of Alaska to recruit dedicated, hard-working self-motivators to bring poverty-alleviating projects to life and establish sustainability. The Golden Heart City of Fairbanks, Alaska has benefited from the influence of VISTAs for years. The program has had many homes, including the University of Alaska Fairbanks and the Fairbanks North Star Borough. As of 2019, the program is hosted by the City of Fairbanks and housed in City Hall. Fairbanks VISTA sites have included the public libraries, Fairbanks Soil and Water District, the Boys and Girls Club of Fairbanks, Access Alaska and many more. AmeriCorps VISTA's mission is to engage members in a year of full-time service to strengthen organizations that eliminate or alleviate poverty through the mobilization of community volunteers and resources. Members build capacity, strengthen communities and develop their own careers while focusing on the national issues of poverty, inequity, homelessness and lack of access to education. VISTAs come from all walks of life. They are community change agents, altruistic adventurers, gap year go-getters and pragmatic professionals. VISTA encourages members to think global and act local. It is perfect for people who want their job to be more than just a job. Countless opportunities abound – you can serve in your hometown or across the nation. Find a project by following your skills or broaden your horizons by pursuing new experiences. AmeriCorps VISTA offers support while you volunteer in service to America. Benefits include: a living allowance based on the income level of the community you are serving, Relocation Allowance (if moving 50+ miles), Segal Education Award, Student Loan Forbearance, Healthcare, Child care Assistance (if eligible), Professional Development, and Non-Competitive Eligibility Status.
