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 nine available positions. Each position offers the unique opportunity to work in a rural distressed region of Tennessee. Additional projects focus on community organizing, grant writing, volunteer recruitment, and K-12 educational enhancement. 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. Come make a difference!
