Resources
The following list provides general guidance for each initiative area. It should not be regarded as an all-inclusive inventory of volunteer assignments.
  • Economic Development - research, organization and development of activities designed to generate income and enhance the economic potential of low-income urban or rural areas. Member's activities might include neighborhood economic revitalization; development and expansion of community development credit unions; housing rehabilitation and assistance in housing loan packaging; and entrepreneurial development and management training for low-income individuals attempting to enter the business sector.
  • Unemployment - creation of opportunities for job training, jobs placement and job development with substantial private sector involvement. VISTA activities might include linking the unemployed with job training resources; developing "computer literacy" programs; setting up community job banks or job fairs; training in job-readiness and job seeking skills for low-income youth, the disabled and refugees; and developing and expanding support systems to enable low-income teenagers and single parents to seek and keep employment.
