First Year VISTA, How does weekly schedules work?
I just started my VISTA service, and I am very excited for the work I would be doing. HOWEVER, I was severely confused on how many hours I should be at my host site.
My site supervisor was thinking 36 hours a week, but stayed on the side of caution having me work 40 hours a week (7-4pm with an hour lunch) since she didn’t know if VISTAs had a minimum hour service requirement. And if I need to work a Saturday event then I would.
I would like to go to being on site from 7-3 pm and working any Saturday events but is that within my bounds??? And do I still get “2days off” with that.
Can anyone help, please? I really don’t want to burn out too fast being on site for 45 hours, “working” 40 hours.
