Volunteering in Service to America (VISTA)

Volunteering in Service to America (VISTA) is a national program that places volunteers in communities across the United States to help combat poverty and promote social and economic change. Founded in 1965, VISTA members work with local organizations to develop programs that empower individuals and strengthen communities. Through service projects, volunteers contribute their skills and knowledge while gaining valuable experience. VISTA aims to build sustainable solutions to address challenges faced by low-income communities, fostering long-term improvements in areas such as education, health, and economic opportunity. Volunteers typically commit to a year of service and receive support and benefits.
