Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA)

Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) is a national service program that places volunteers within communities to help address poverty-related issues. VISTA members serve for about a year, working alongside local organizations to develop sustainable programs, increase resources, and build community capacity. Their focus is on long-term solutions, such as education, job training, and health initiatives, empowering communities to improve their economic and social conditions. VISTA promotes civic engagement and helps reduce poverty by fostering local leadership and enhancing the effectiveness of community organizations.
