November Pre-Service Orientation: Position Openings!

Greetings!

We currently have six openings available for new VISTAs to begin their term of service on November 21st. Please see the PWC Project website at http://www.ingham.org/ce/CD/home.htm for details about position openings.

A Pre-Service Orientation (PSO) will be held November 17th-20th, most likely in Chicago, IL. During this time new VISTA members will be sworn in, trained on poverty related topics and educated about what it means to be a VISTA. Check out www.americorps.gov to learn more about PSO.

If you have questions please don't hesitate to call me at (517) 887-4594 or email mzumbrunnen@ingham.org.
