United Way of East Central Iowa, IA&MN Campus Compact VISTA
 
 
 
United Way of East Central Iowa (UWECI) works with more than 100 cross sector partners to fight for the education, financial stability, and health of every member of our community. United Way of East Central Iowa coordinates Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) which focuses on providing free tax preparation to low-income individuals and families. The single criteria used to determine eligibility of VITA services is that families or individuals make less than 54,000 per year. This allows VITA to focus on the families most in need of this free service. Resources are limited and tax refunds have the potential to make a big impact for families. VITA is looking to expand services to rural communities and vulnerable populations to help those most in need. This project is part of the Community Corps VISTA Program, operated by Iowa & Minnesota Campus Compact. The program strives to eliminate poverty through campus-community partnerships by placing full-time capacity building support in nonprofit organizations and higher education institutions. There are three focus areas, this project being in the Opportunity Corps which supports sites in long-term approaches to issues related to personal economic success including housing and employment support. ***Please also send cover letter and resume to supervisor. Interviews will occur on a rolling basis. Start date will be late fall/early winter. Preference given to candidates who apply early.***
