A Recruitment Guide From a Sponsor for VISTA Affiliates

Help affiliates recruit VISTA members from their communities

A VISTA sponsor program developed this guide to help their affiliates recruit members. Sponsors who want to develop a similar document can use this guide as a model. This guide provides a lot of useful and important information, including:

  • The recruitment role of the sponsoring organization
  • How to "get the word out"
  • Supervisor to supervisor recruiting advice
  • Acceptable and unacceptable interview questions
  • A step-by-step outline of the selection process
  • An enrollment paperwork chart

This Guide Book was created by Habitat for Humanity (Minneapolis, MN), a VISTA program that helps the 34 Habitat affiliates in Minnesota accomplish their goal of eliminating poverty housing in their communities.
