*MCVP – Mountain Home Montana Volunteer Coordinator VISTA

The goal of this VISTA project is to connect low-income families with basic essentials, so they have the capacity to invest their limited financial resources in improving their family’s health and stability. Montana has long experienced high teen pregnancy rates and a lack of capacity to address youth homelessness with state laws preferential towards parental rights. Additionally, geographic isolation makes healthcare inaccessible, and without statewide public preschool, many of our communities have become childcare deserts. In response, Mountain Home provides holistic wrap-around health services to ensure our families have the tools to overcome these challenges and break generational cycles of trauma and poverty. This project directly ensures that the basic needs of our clients and other community families can be met despite the high cost of living in our local area. This VISTA project will move local, under-resourced families with children out of poverty by connecting them with access to basic needs that are essential to their family’s well-being resulting in families having the opportunity to invest their energy and financial resources into improving their family’s health, stability and overall wellness. Located in Missoula, MT!
