Open VISTA Positions

Mercy Corps NW VISTAs oversee projects that build the long-term capacity of their communities through financial education, job skills training, microenterprise, financial asset development, food security, and affordable housing.  While the programs VISTAs develop endure for years, VISTA members perform only indirect service; interaction with clients will be limited and the member will spend the majority of their time in an office setting. However, VISTA offers the opportunity to gain advanced project management skills and exercise creativity in implementing a program—skills highly desired by employers.

Our VISTA host sites are located in both rural and urban areas. Please note that in some cases, rural sites may require that you have reliable transportation. Since VISTA has unique benefits and requirements, prospective applicants are advised to review the FAQ’s on our VISTA program. Pay and benefit information is located in the FAQ’s. 

All VISTA member positions for the August 2018 cohort have been filled. Please check back again in December 2018, when we will start recruitment for our March 2019 VISTA cohort!
