WAFCC has TWO AmeriCorps Programs!
|
AmeriCorps VISTA Program - The AmeriCorps VISTA Program is a national service program designed to alleviate poverty with over 75,000 Americans joining each year. AmeriCorps VISTA Members make a year-long, full-time commitment and AmeriCorps VISTA Associates commit to 10 weeks in the summer to serve on a project at a nonprofit organization such as WAFCC, a Wisconsin Free and Charitable Clinic, or a Public Health Department. With passion, commitment, and hard work, VISTAs bring individuals and communities out of poverty while improving access to quality health care.

Public Health AmeriCorps Program - AmeriCorps and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention joined forces to launch Public Health AmeriCorps and support the recruitment, training, and development of the next generation of public health leaders who will be ready to respond to the nation’s public health needs. WAFCC Public Health AmeriCorps (PHA) Members will serve at Free and Charitable Clinics (FCCs), Public Health Departments, and Social Service Agencies. This program will engage 28 full-time and 6 part-time AmeriCorps Members. PHA Members will provide continued COVID-19 pandemic support, help combat the opioid epidemic, strengthen telehealth capabilities, procure volunteers, and more.
