AmeriCorps WAFCC Clinic/Health Department VISTA

 A VISTA working at one of our sites may be doing a variety of things depending on the population you're serving and what the site's needs are, some of which may include: developing clinic policies and procedures, growing the site's volunteer pool, grant-writing/fundraising, helping create systems for maintaining the Standards of Excellence, helping build and maintain partnerships with schools, coalitions and other community organizations, continuing to develop the site's social media presence, implementation of community education and awareness events, increasing capacity of recovery and substance abuse treatment programs, development of educational materials and resources the community can use to slow the spread of COVID -19, building the capacity of the health department to relay scientific and evidenced-based information to the public regarding COVID -19, and development of volunteer resources for contact tracing.
