Outside Work Policy

This week’s tip is on our outside employment policy. VISTA does allow members to have a part-time job outside of VISTA service. These jobs must be: Legal; Part-time; Do not conflict at all with the VISTA’s service or service hours; Do not violate any applicable Federal, state, and local laws and regulations; andDo not conflict with any AmeriCorps VISTA program requirements or policies.

Members can also not be an employee of or contractor for the sponsor, sub-recipient, or other project-related organization to which the VISTA is assigned to serve.

In order for the members to work, the member and sponsor must submit the Outside Employment Request form to our office found here.
