South Cumberland Plateau VISTAs Project
 
 
 
The South Cumberland Community Fund-University of the South (Sewanee) have partnered to offer a unique Community-University South Cumberland Plateau VISTA Project (SCPVP). This project is a full-time, one year, post-graduate service program in which 18 VISTA volunteers will work with the University at 6-8 distinct agencies to help build and implement programs designed to improve health, economic well being and reading and literary. We are currently seeking 6 VISTA members to join our dynamic team. Each VISTA is matched with a service site, typically an off-campus non-profit, where they work to develop new programs, and establish supportive volunteer networks with each community and with the University’s curricular and co-curricular community program. SCPVP provides professional development training to enhance each VISTA member’s personal and professional development, including community organizing, grant writing, volunteer recruitment, and sustainability. In addition to providing invaluable professional experience in health education, food insecurity, energy conservation, early childhood education, economic development or and grant writing, this VISTA program is team focused, providing group programming, support, and social opportunities for each VISTA. Make a difference! Help us improve our South Cumberland Plateau communities!
