Description:
THE WAY HOME: Engage residents in a collaborative process to improve the health of low income and minority families. This project would have several components including working with city departments and property owners to help identify specific health issues within tenement housing. The selected candidate will work within the Manchester community to help tenants and landlords access resources that would decrease the number of incidents.
The City of Manchester AmeriCorps *VISTA Project is seeking individuals who would like to provide a year of service by making a difference in the lives of people living in poverty. In return for a year of service, participants have the opportunity of meeting new people, gaining hands-on experience and sharing in the rewards of a meaningful contribution to the War on Poverty.
Requirements: BA or 2-3 years related experience.
Compensation is in the form of a yearly stipend of $10,906.20 (paid weekly). Upon completion of a year of service, an educational award of $4,725 or a cash award of $1200 choice is provided. These positions are full time and any other paying job is prohibited during the year of service.
