VISTA Assignment Descriptions

A sample VAD to help you develop your own

Use this sample to create VADs that do "heavy lifting":

  • Give the VAD to members during the interview process so they can see what the position entails
  • Have members bring it to PSO to prepare them for their arrival on site
  • Use it to guide supervision

This sample was developed by Project STAR and is also used in the VISTA Supervisor Orientation, developed by Education Northwest/Bank Street College(BSC).

Detailed information on developing a VAD can also be found at the Resource Center at VISTA Assignment Description (VAD): Samples and Tips
