We Are Hiring an AmeriCorps VISTA! - One Year Term

We will be on year two of our three year commitment with Seattle based Harvest Against Hunger to bring in an Americorps VISTA member. Our first year was a tremendous success in large part to Owen, who many of you have met, and who we will miss! Year two promises more exciting challenges and we’re excited to welcome a new member in 2026!

This position will grow our long term impact & sustainability through thoughtful & responsive volunteer recruitment, retention, & recognition.

The AmeriCorps member will also create outreach materials, calendars, and plans to increase awareness of programming. The member will do a fair amount of computer work and may drive a van, truck, and/or cargo bike, lift up to 50lbs, climb ladders, bend/stretch in all manner of ways, and receive hands-on training.
