Applications From A to Z
Wisdom from the field:
"In our host site application, the VISTA site supervisor has to complete a form regarding their commitment to trainings and orientations. This is an effective way to ensure they understand their role and the time commitment it entails. By asking host sites what they'd like to see in an orientation, we're getting them to see how they can effectively integrate a VISTA at the site."

You'll need to supply a complete application packet to both new and renewing host sites. Here's what it should include:
- Cover page
- Information about the application/enrollment process
- A section that helps you match the site's goals to your own
- Work plan
- Job descriptions and member requirements
- Resources committed by site
- Contact information
You will also want to provide enough information about your program so new host sites know if it's a good match.
