Are you a socially conscious individual yearning for a summer that promises more than just a tan? Your search ends with the Silver City Gospel Mission’s partnership with Hunger Free America - the AmeriCorps Summer Vista Program.

Set against the backdrop of vibrant Silver City, this initiative is our stand against food insecurity and homelessness, both pressing issues faced by millions in our country. Our mission echoes the ethos of socially responsible individuals like you who believe in transformative change and a more equitable world.

Over a span of ten weeks, starting either June 12 or June 20, you will dive headfirst into the heart of community-based work. The roles are full-time, but what’s time when every second spent brings you closer to making a tangible difference? Whether nurturing our community garden, assisting in food pantries, or driving other hunger-alleviation initiatives, your summer days will be filled with purpose and growth.

And what’s more? The program allows for part-time employment or engagement in educational programs, ensuring that your commitments don’t take a backseat. Every participant receives a living stipend, the choice of an AmeriCorps Education or Cash Award, and professional development training that adds weight to their resume.

To be eligible, you need to be at least 18 years old, have a passion for anti-hunger work, and have a flexible, team-oriented mindset. Previous experience in diverse communities is a plus, but we value your drive for social change the most.

The Silver City Gospel Mission is located at 111 S. Texas St., downtown Silver City, tucked behind Jalisco’s Restaurant. Applications are open until 10 am MST on May 26th. Don’t let this chance to make a real difference slip through your hands.

So, are you ready to transform your summer into a journey of social change?

To all our cherished donors and loyal email subscribers, I cannot emphasize enough how truly grateful we are for your unwavering support. It is because of your heartfelt contributions and ongoing commitment that our soup kitchen, food pantries, women's shelter, and clothing bank are able to operate and fulfill their mission. 

Your generosity and dedication empower us to make a tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate. Without you, none of this would be possible, and we deeply appreciate the impact you have on our organization and the communities we serve.
