New Americorps*VISTAs Join Road of Life Staff



Road of Life gets seven new staffers after Americorps grant is extended.



Columbus, OH (PRWEB) September 29, 2006



Seven new Americorps members have come on board at Road of Life as a result of the extension of Road of Life’s Americorps*VISTA (Volunteer In Service To America) grant. The extension of this grant has allowed the organization to double its staff.



Americorps, a group of local, state, and national service programs, brings together more than 70,000 Americans each year in intensive service to meet our country’s vital needs in education, public safety, health, and the environment.



AmeriCorps members work with more than 2,000 nonprofits, public agencies, and faith-based and community organizations. Since 1994, more than 400,000 men and women have given needed assistance to millions of Americans across the nation through their AmeriCorps service. With the help of grants and the commitment of members, Americorps supports communities by organizing community resources.



The extension of Road of Life’s grant is an indication of the organization’s excellent rapport with The Corporation for National Community Service, a federal agency since 1993, and of the members’ satisfaction with their year of service at Road of Life.



In the coming year, Road of Life’s new staff members look forward to working to enhance the quality of the organization’s cancer prevention program and to raise awareness of the importance of health education and the organization within the community.
