Addressing Ohio's Opioid Epidemic - VISTA Project
Are you interested in helping to develop solutions for Ohio’s opioid epidemic, working with local partners, and building capacity in communities throughout Ohio?
With support from the Corporation for National and Community Service, the OACBHA Foundation is working with local ADAMH Boards and partner organizations to develop a statewide VISTA project designed to impact the opioid epidemic in Ohio.
Through this project, VISTA members will serve with community organizations throughout Ohio. The VISTA members will:
- Develop community outreach opportunities;
- Research and write educational materials and papers related to opioid addiction, promising prevention approaches, treatment, and recovery supports;
- Build partnerships with other community organizations working to address the opiate epidemic by supporting the implementation of the County Hubs to Combat Opioid Addiction; and
- Conduct philanthropic research on potential supporters for community organizations working to address the opioid epidemic and participate in grant development and grant-writing processes.
