Via Peter Miller:

Folks, below is a follow-up announcement about the CTC VISTA Project which has posted updated guidelines and is accepting applications now, with "community organizing and development" as a special priority area.  The program is open to any nonprofit that wants to use and develop technology resources for their organization and the people they serve.

CTC VISTA Project now accepting applications

The CTC VISTA Project <http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista> is now accepting
applications from community technology centers and other non-profits that
are using information and communications technologies to address the needs
of low-income and at-risk communities.

In the coming months we will be placing OVER 50 Americorps*VISTAs
with organizations across the country. While the majority of these
placements will take place at the end of AUGUST, a small group will be
starting mid-JUNE.

Applications for JUNE placements are due in late-APRIL.
Applications for AUGUSTS are due mid-JULY.

Organizations interested in participating are encouraged to review our
updated guidelines <http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/guidelines/> and submit an
'intent to apply' <http://www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/application/> as soon as
possible (because recruiting a qualified VISTA does take some time).

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Paul
