Open AmeriCorps VISTA position at BEST: 

BEST has an open position for an AmeriCorps VISTA! Our VISTA project centers around connecting residents in the Historic East Bayfront to resources for renewable energy and energy efficiency in their homes. The VISTA would create a housing unit profile database for the neighborhood. This database would make information required in state and federal energy efficiency applications more readily accessible for residents as it would cut down on the time they would need to spend calculating energy data. The VISTA member's role would also include outreach to neighborhood residents to inform them about available energy resources to make their homes more efficient and assist them with the process of applying for those resources.
