Report
Summary
HandsOn Greater Phoenix provides AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) members for the City of Phoenix departments. HandsOn Greater Phoenix recruits, places and manages a team of AmeriCorps VISTA members, who serve full-time to develop sustainable programs. City departments identify programs and projects that meet the guidelines of the program that allow VISTA members to focus their efforts on building the organizational, administrative and financial capacity of the City to fight illiteracy, improve health services, foster economic development and otherwise assist low-income communities. This amendment will allow additional time for existing VISTA members to complete their service time under the existing contract.
