Martin Luther King VISTAs are placed as full-time volunteers at nonprofit agencies in the Seattle/King County area. Members serve for one year as part of the national VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) movement, often referred to as a "domestic Peace Corps." Typically VISTAs serve at agencies to develop, implement and/or manage new projects. The MLK VISTA Corps has an anti-poverty focus, and we work primarily in four areas:
- housing & homelessness
- technology access for low-income populations
- family support (including domestic violence prevention)
- employment & training
- “Role of a VISTA” info sheet
- Ideas for living cheaply in the Seattle area
- Homes for Service: Finding affordable housing on a National Service stipend can be challenging, so Washington Service Corps maintains a housing bulletin board and website that can help connect National Service Members with housing.
- Metro Trip Planner: Need to get somewhere by bus? Type in your origin and destination addresses, and your bus directions will magically appear!
- City of Seattle: Great information on events and resources in this awesome city where you're doing your year of service!
- The Black Collegian: A career site and resource for people of color.
- Idealist.org: A great resource full of social change and nonprofit job postings all over the country!
