National service

Serve with AmeriCorps VISTA

AmeriCorps VISTA is a full-time, year-long national service program focused on fighting poverty. CCHSC places AmeriCorps VISTA members with nonprofit organizations and public agencies in Cherokee and neighboring counties.

Members build the capacity of the organizations they serve rather than providing direct services. In exchange, they receive a living allowance and other benefits set by AmeriCorps.

  • Full-time, year-long service
  • Ages 18 and up, with no upper age limit
  • U.S. citizenship or an eligible legal residency status is required; see AmeriCorps for full eligibility
  • Living allowance, plus a cash stipend or education award at the end of service

Nondiscrimination

This program is available to all, without discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, religion, age, national origin, genetic information, disability, military status, familial status, political affiliation, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Read the AmeriCorps Program Civil Rights and Non-Harassment Policy (PDF) (external site). If you are an AmeriCorps member or volunteer, or applied to be one, and believe you were discriminated against or harassed, contact the AmeriCorps Office of Civil Rights at (202) 606-7503 or eo@americorps.gov within 30 calendar days of the discrimination or harassment. You do not have to use CCHSC's own complaint process first, and AmeriCorps prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern. Anyone served by an AmeriCorps program can also contact the AmeriCorps Office of Civil Rights.
