Year of service
two great programs, one mission
A Year of Service develops your real-world experience while transforming our community. United Way of the Piedmont is proud to host two AmeriCorps national service programs.
AmeriCorps
direct service
AmeriCorps is a nationwide service program, and every local program is different. United Way of the Piedmont Direct Service positions are all paid, part-time commitments.
United Way of the Piedmont's AmeriCorps Direct Service Members serve as Teacher Support Specialists in local elementary schools, serving teachers and students and promoting academic success.
AmeriCorps VISTA
AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) is a nationwide service program designed to fight poverty in communities across the United States. United Way of the Piedmont's VISTA program focuses on building the capacity of education, health, and economic mobility-focused nonprofit organizations so that they may better serve our community and accomplish their missions.
As full-time capacity-builders, VISTA members serve "behind the scenes" in a variety of roles such as program development, marketing, grant writing, and research.
