Subject: FW: VISTA Host Site Application for Spring 2014 VISTA members

Good afternoon,
I am attaching the application to apply for a Spring 2014-2015 Oregon Health Authority VISTA member. The applications are due by 5 pm on Friday, December 20, 2013. We have changed the application due to some program changes at the federal level, so please review carefully. In addition, the VISTA Assignment Description (VAD) needs to be more detailed and have a stronger tie to the VISTA anti-poverty mission. I have also attached a document, "How to Write Effective VADs". Please read that document and use as your guide. Finally, I have attached a sample VAD from Tillamook County that you may also want to review as another resource.

Please make sure to mark on the application whether or not you will be able to cost-share: $13,136 for rural Oregon, or $13,352 for metro areas for the year. Host sites choosing to cost-share and meeting the goals, mission, and vision of VISTA and our project will receive approval upon application and review. Based on final CNCS approval, we will be able to award several standard VISTA members which will cost $ 2,500 for the year. The number of standard placements will be based on federal resources and the Corporation for National and Community Service and will be announced likely in mid-January. If your site can cost-share, you will have a stronger chance to be guaranteed a VISTA resource.

We will be offering three Pre-Recruitment webinars to review the application, roles and responsibilities, and VISTA. The dates are included in the application if you would like more information during the application process. Thank you for your interest in the OHA VISTA Partnership Project, we look forward to another great service year!
-Akiko
