- As in the previous year, the overarching theme for the MLK Day of Service in 2013 is “Economic Opportunity.” The AmeriCorps VISTA program encourages VISTA projects and members to promote the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) or volunteer at a... local Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) site. EITC is considered one of the most effective antipoverty programs in place. This year VISTA is also reaching out to its sponsors and members to get involved in the National Point-in-Time Count of the Homeless as a MLK Day of Service activity.

Interested in working at AmeriCorps VISTA HQ? We're hiring a VISTA Recruitment, Marketing and Outreach Specialist. Apply by Dec 24th thru USAJobs, http://tiny.cc/rt13ow- It's TIP Tuesday! Five Tips for Making Events or Drives Sustainable
1. Create manuals, guides and other materials to guide
staff and volunteers through the planning and
implementation process. These will be used in future
years.
... 2. Recruit and train a group of volunteers to run every
aspect of the event and/or drive. Once VISTAs are
no longer at the organization, the event will continue
through volunteer leadership.
3. Partner with other organizations, businesses,
schools, etc. Remember to recognize and send
“Thank You’s” to all partners when the event is over.
Fond memories will make them want to participate in
the future.
4. Articulate how the event or drive fits into the overall
mission of the organization. This is useful in
recruiting volunteers, interacting with the media and
ensuring that the event stays focused.
5. Evaluate the event or drive and document successes
and areas for improvement for next year’s staff and
volunteers to reference.
