Northern Illinois Food Bank seeks Americorps VISTA volunteers
Northern Illinois Food Bank is seeking dedicated Americorps VISTA volunteers to serve one-year commitments. The positions will be based out of the Food Bank’s West Suburban Center in Geneva. One position will work to grow the Food Bank’s relationships with community organizations; another position will coordinate volunteer opportunities; a third position will work with the Food Bank’s partner feeding programs to strengthen and grow their ability to provide food to our neighbors in need.
The positions are administered through Americorps VISTA (www.nationalservice.gov) and include a small stipend. Northern Illinois Food Bank’s partnership with Americorps VISTA is a great opportunity for college graduates interested in working in the nonprofit field to gain experience with an established and successful hunger relief organization.
