Community Development Coordinator - AmeriCorps VISTA
The Bennington County Regional Commission seeks an AmeriCorps VISTA to serve a one-year term in Bennington, VT beginning this August 2022. The VISTA’s intended work plan will address Housing, Workforce Development, and Food Security. The VISTA will support the Welcoming Communities Challenge, a broad and transformational effort to help new and vulnerable residents displaced by international conflict to build roots in Bennington County. This initiative will also require assisting service providers with efforts to tailor services to the needs of a new population. The VISTA will assist Bennington County Open Arms, a co-sponsoring organization working with refugees in Bennington, with potential to provide additional pilot programs in the northern part of the county with capacity and support.
The VISTA will also support the work of several cooperating organizations to improve community health through food access and security, particularly the Vermont Food Bank’s “Veggie Van Go” program that provides locally grown produce and food products to families and individuals in need throughout Bennington County.
