Tech-Savvy Volunteers for Your Organization

Submitted by Holly on Tue, 10/10/2006 - 8:45am.

Ctc_image We've teamed up with VISTA/Americorps to get tech-savvy volunteers hooked up with the nonprofits that need them - and NTEN members will have top priority for volunteer placement!

CTC VISTAs can be placed with any nonprofit that uses technology to address the needs of low-income communities. Special consideration will be given to organizations that work in community networking, technology assistance, digital media, and community organizing projects.

NTEN organizational members that would like to apply for a CTC VISTA can do so online. The process is easy:

  • Submit your intent to apply.
  • Recruit local candidates. The CTC VISTA Project will also send you possible candidates from the national AmeriCorps application pool.
  • Select a candidate and complete the application process.
  • Pay about $3,000 for your VISTA's full-time year of work.

If your organization is not an NTEN member, you can become one today. More information on this program is available on the CTC VISTA website.

If you would like to become a CTC VISTA, more information on the program and the application process is available online.
