VISTA member will assist organizations in implementing recommendations and work with the organizations to increase volunteers through a volunteer marketing and outreach program. Volunteers will be engaged to participate in community and economic development initiatives lead by the Affiliates. 3. VISTA member will work with volunteers to organize and host a volunteer recognition event as part of Affiliates’ annual celebration.
