Job Description : MTCC VISTA Rural Institute for Inclusive Communities

Montana’s citizens with disabilities earn much less, are under- or unemployed, and less educated than their non-disabled counterparts. These individuals and their families are often disenfranchised from the communities and providers that serve them. The ratio of those with disabilities to those without who have at least a bachelor’s degree is 1:3. Evidence regarding the positive long-term earning potential and life satisfaction outcomes of those with a college degree, compared to those with only a high school diploma is indisputable; college degrees lift people out of poverty and anything less than a college degree, especially for those with activity limitations, is a sure recipe for lifelong poverty. Individuals with disabilities and their families consistently rate lack of resource awareness and insufficient training related to existing resources as a high priority concern. Community organizations tasked with providing training and resources often share outdated content and/or are unable to meet the information needs of those with complex or atypical disability concerns. This project is designed to get current information to individuals and families so that they can make more informed decisions about service, supports, policies and programs that impact their independence and self-support outcomes. Montana Campus Compact (MTCC) serves as the intermediary for this project. MTCC is a CEO-led coalition of colleges and universities that support civic engagement, service learning, and volunteerism across the state. Every year we place cohorts of full-time, part-time, and summer AmeriCorps members with schools, colleges, nonprofits, and government agencies in Montana. The AmeriCorps projects we facilitate increase educational equity, break down barriers between higher education and community organizations, and address the root causes of poverty in communities across the state.
