The HandsOn VISTA program supports 20 VISTA members at multiple placement sites across the valley.

HandsOn VISTA members will improve their own capacity for leading communities during and beyond their terms of service by developing their knowledge, skills, and abilities related to volunteer mobilization, civic engagement, and other areas. In addition to the site-specific work of the individual role all of our VISTA members: participate in 2 AmeriCorps National Days of Service, lead projects at 2 HandsOn community service days, attend monthly VISTA team trainings with the other HandsOn VISTA members, and lead a monthly community volunteering opportunity.

Member Duties : Improve educational outcomes and disaster preparedness in Phoenix by joining Trees Matter to get more trees into schools while teaching staff and students the importance of trees and caring for them! The successful applicant will build resources and curriculum for the Trees for Schools Academic Program, including figuring our appropriate teaching resources to incorporate trees into STEM, art, and physical education settings. You will work with schools and other stake holders to pilot programming, gather data, and strengthen support. You will also lead in the planning of 2-7 school plantings for the year. Published research has shown that students simply having a view of a tree from their classroom measurably improves knowledge retention and resiliency. Join Trees Matter to tackle both education and environmental challenges at the same time.
