The VISTA will focus on 1) developing partnerships with University of Montana and Missoula College entities, Missoula-area high schools, nonprofits, and social service providers that support targeted volunteer recruitment; 2) developing strategies to promote recruitment and retention of volunteers, focusing on those who may be experiencing barriers to employment, who come from the low-income community directly adjacent to Home ReSources facility, or who otherwise may have limited opportunities; 3) establishing the internal systems and capacity for efficient and effective volunteer intake, training, placement, evaluation, and oversight; and 4) building community connections that support the successful transition of volunteers to subsequent educational, employment, and vocational opportunities.
