Check out our AmeriCorps Community Education & Outreach VISTA position!

The Community Education & Outreach VISTA position is a Tribal Resilience AmeriCorps Service Opportunity hosted by Friends of Organ Mountains – Desert Peaks in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

This position will strengthen the Friends of Organ Mountains Desert Peaks capacity to serve our community through working with partners and organizations to achieve our organization’s mission.

The VISTA will help work with diverse organizations including schools, management agencies, business and partners to strengthen our program and education and outreach delivery.
