<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am attaching the application to apply for an August 2013-2014 Oregon Health Authority VISTA member. The applications
<u>are due by 5 pm on Friday, August, 26, 2013</u>. We have changed the application due to some program changes, 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 Marion County that you may also want to review as another resource.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please make sure to mark on the application whether or not you will be able to cost-share: $11, 136 for rural Oregon, or 11, 352 for metro areas for the year. Based on final CNCS approval, we hope to have 13 standard positions which will
cost $ 2,500 (slight increase from last year) for the year and then at least 7 cost-share positions. If your site can cost-share, you will have a stronger chance to be guaranteed a VISTA resource.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will be out of the office all of this week (April 8-15). However, Alyssa Bostian (<a href="mailto:alyssa.bostian@state.or.us">alyssa.bostian@state.or.us</a>) will be able to answer questions in my absence. Thank you for your interest
in the OHA VISTA Partnership Project, we look forward to another great service year!<o:p></o:p></p>
