Hi all! FIRST is currently looking to fill positions in our AmeriCorps VISTA Program for the 2014-2015 season.
You can find out more about the program HERE
The VISTA program at FIRST strives to match an AmeriCorps VISTA Volunteer to our field structure in support of teams within underserved communities. The FIRST AmeriCorps VISTA mission is to create and expand the vision of FIRST by working in areas that have been deemed underserved: lower, socio-economic communities, rural areas, and areas that have little to no support or resources to be able to easily access STEM initiatives. VISTAs work closely with all teams in their area as general support, with a strong focus in underserved populations.
This is the perfect position for a FIRST alumnus or recent college graduate.
Benefits of the position include: relocation assistance, a monthly living stipend, forbearance of student loans, an education or cash award at the end of service, healthcare benefits, and life insurance.
Another benefit is the possibility of visiting FIRST Headquarters in New Hampshire and going to Championship in St. Louis!
