VISTAs for Community Technology Centers

Posted by on April 21, 2006

CTC VISTA Project now accepting applications

The CTC VISTA Project (<a href="http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista">http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista</a>) is now accepting applications from community technology centers and other non-profits that are using information and communications technologies to address the needs of low-income and at-risk communities.

In the coming months we will be placing OVER 50 Americorps*VISTAs with organizations across the country. While the majority of these placements will take place at the end of AUGUST, a small group will be starting mid-JUNE.

Applications for JUNE placements are due in late-APRIL.
Applications for AUGUST are due mid-JULY.

Organizations interested in participating are encouraged to review our updated guidelines (<a href="http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/guidelines/">http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/guidelines/</a>) and submit an ‘intent to apply’ (<a href="http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/application/">http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/application/</a>) as soon as possible (because recruiting a qualified VISTA does take some time).

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Paul
