AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America)

AmeriCorps VISTA is a national service program specifically designed to lift communities up out of poverty since 1965. Through a one-year commitment, VISTA empowers and engages individuals at a more local level to strengthen low-income communities through capacity building of nonprofit organizations and public agencies. With this one-year commitment, individuals are learning sustainable skills: recruiting, program development, public outreach, etc. which are transferable skills to support and advocate for those living in low-income areas.
