AmeriCorps VISTA Food Security Initiative Screener

An AmeriCorps VISTA Service Site must be a public agency (federal, state, local, or tribal) or private nonprofit organization. A Service Site may not be a private for-profit organization.

Does your organization meet this criteria?

AmeriCorps requires VISTA Service Members to serve an average of 40 hours per week.

Does your organization have the capacity to fulfill this requirement?

The AmeriCorps VISTA FSI Program is dedicated to developing a network of diverse Service Sites that reflect the communities and populations they serve. We are particularly focused on prioritizing BIPOC-led (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Service Sites and those serving primarily BIPOC communities.

Please describe your Service Site's leadership and community in terms of diverse racial and ethnic identities. (Note: While BIPOC-led Service Sites will be prioritized, it is not a mandatory prerequisite to participate in this program.)

Please describe the primary populations to be served by this project.

Describe how your project will work to reduce poverty and its effects in your community, particularly as it pertains to increasing access to healthy foods and addressing food insecurity.
