Now hiring:
AmeriCorps*VISTA Volunteer Positions Now Open in Florida.
We are hiring up to 12 AmeriCorps*VISTA Volunteers to coordinate local Faces of Homelessness Speakers’ Bureaus in cities throughout Florida.

Coordinate the Faces of Homelessness Speakers’ Bureau in a Florida city, speaking to youth/religious groups, middle and high schools, civic groups and colleges. Help empower homeless and formerly homeless individuals.
