| Title | VISTA volunteer search |
| Body | From: "Anselmo Villanueva" The Cornelius Family Literacy Collaborative, comprised of PODER Family Literacy, Mejorando el Futuro Family Literacy, Home Instruction for Parents of Pre-school Youngsters (HIPPY) and Adelante Mujeres, united under Even Start and other grants, is looking to fill a VISTA Volunteer position by the end of September. The position (description attached) is for someone to help us coordinate a public relations plan, a fundraising campaign and work with our advisory committee to develop a blueprint for sustainability. We are located in Cornelius, OR, on the west side of Hillsboro. VISTA is part of the AmeriCorps national service organization. VISTA volunteers receive approximately $9000 annually for living expenses. There used to be an additional $5000 education stipend, but that has been reduced to $1200. Some credits are available for student loan repayment, however that's not as good as it used to be either. So, the ideal candidate must really want to be spending a year in service to the community. I think it will be a good experience and the program coordinators will be there to help, guide and animate. Please pass this information on or post in any appropriate venue. If you know of anyone who might fit the bill or at least would be interested in more info, have them contact: -- Carol Mazer, 503 357 9493, carol.mazer@ocdc.net or -- Nancy Monroe, 503 357 4964, nanfmonroe@aol.com Karen Sanders Operations Manager PCC Adult Basic Skills SE Center, 111 (503) 788-6263 Portland Community College Administrative Assistant Extended Learning Campus Adult Basic Skills Programs English as a Second Language Adult Basic Education SE 111 (503) 788-6281 (503) 788-6247 (fax) POSITION DESCRIPTION Organization: Oregon Child Development Coalition (OCDC) Program(s) Names: Home Instruction for Parents of Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY) and the Cornelius Family Literacy Collaborative program.
