Upcoming
Pre-Service Orientation (PSO):
November 15-18 2010
This spring's PSOs will be held in
Lombard, IL for four
days, of which on the fourth, VISTA members are sworn in as civil
volunteers. During this training period, VISTAs will learn about
AmeriCorps, poverty, service, themselves and each other. They are
expected to attend scheduled workshops and all meals are provided for.
If their supervisor is new to the program they will also join the VISTA
in travel but attend different workshops. An applicant may choose their
preferred method of transportation (at no cost to them or the
organization) for traveling to PSO and hotel accommodations. At any time
the potential VISTA has the option of deciding VISTA service is not for
them and will receive transportation home at no cost.
Following the PSO, a Continued Development Training
(CDT) is offered by the Corporation for National and Community Service
to provide further skills, updates and to re-connect with VISTA members
after the PSO. The next CDT offered will be about three months following
PSO, and likely held in Ypsilanti
for those VISTA members who began their service in April 2010. Please
click the
agenda for example details.
As soon as the MI CNCS Office notifies us of PSO
dates we will post them immediately.
