Appalachian South Cumberland Plateau VISTA Project
 
 
 
The South Cumberland Community Fund and The 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 VISTA volunteers will work with community partners throughout the Plateau. Join our current team of 14 VISTAs through one of four available positions. The Grundy County Health Council Network Coordinator will strengthen the Health Ambassador Program through community outreach and program development while also assisting the Health Council transition into a 501-c(3) not-for- profit organization. The Grundy County Mayor's Office Economic Development Coordinator will work with the Mayor of Grundy County, TN to implement various projects related to community health, economic development, and environmental sustainability. The South Cumberland Community Fund Communications and Fund Development Coordinator will work with the Fund's Director to further strengthen the Fund's overall outreach and organizational capacity through marketing and grant writing. The SCCF Grant Writing and Non-Profit Network Coordinator will work with local not-for-profit organizations throughout the Plateau to develop capacity through grant writing and collaborating with the grant committee to implement its programs. Each position offers the unique opportunity to work in a rural, historically, and economically depressed region of Tennessee. Projects focus on community organizing, grant writing, volunteer recruitment, collaborating with K-12 schools initiatives to ensure and enhance sustainable program. SCPVP provides training to enhance each VISTA member’s personal and professional development. 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.
