AmeriCorps MLK VISTA 2011-2012 Team

MLK VISTA is an active partnership between Solid Ground, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and 20 grassroots organizations in Seattle and King County. We work together to create innovative projects that strengthen and support low-income communities.

We have 20 innovative community projects that range from fund development, community outreach, volunteer coordination, program development, youth organizing and community capacity building. Positions provide you the chance to help expand program capacity and build sustainability for future years.

MLK VISTA is about building a learning community and developing leadership with each other. We're a team committed to challenging and pushing one another. But we also have fun! We have rad trainings sometimes afternoon barbeques or even sing-a-longs... We value building a learning community and offering support to one another that's foundational to the way we approach doing work based on accountable relationships. Each MLK VISTA's input is highly valued and helps set the tone and shapes the overall experience.

Because of Solid Ground's Anti-Racist Initiative and the understanding of how oppression and power and privilege shape and impact people's lives, the MLK VISTA program is rooted in anti-racism and social justice. Our focus is to create a learning community where we dive into self-reflection and our own internalized messaging. We want to create just and caring communities. Because VISTA's often work with organization's supporting low-income/working class folks and because these folks are disproportionately people of color, the need for an anti-racist/anti-oppressive analysis is necessary.

We're still accepting applications and the 2011-2012 team will start at the end of January 2012! For more information about applying and member benefits please visit:
