♡ SaveAbout this opportunity
Utah Assistive Technology Program (UATP) and AgrAbility of Utah operate as critical economic lifelines that actively combat rural poverty. Their mission is to preserve livelihoods, ensuring financial independence, and lowering the cost of essential adaptive equipment for people with disabilities in rural Utah. The VISTA member will develop sustainable community partnerships, outreach strategies, referral systems, educational resources, and organizational tools that increase awareness of available services, particularly in rural and underserved communities. These efforts will strengthen connections to existing resources and create sustainable systems that UATP, AgrAbility, and community partners can maintain beyond the VISTA service period.
