AmeriCorps*VISTA
Each year, the IRC in Salt Lake City hosts AmeriCorps*VISTA volunteers. This year, we will recruit a VISTA Volunteer Program Coordinator and an Educational Programs Coordinator to start this August. Both positions are full-time volunteer commitments for one year and offer opportunities to develop program management and nonprofit skills.
