About the AmeriCorps VISTA Program
AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) engages more
than 8,000 individuals annually to support community efforts to
overcome poverty. AmeriCorps VISTA members serve full time for a
year at nonprofit organizations or local government agencies to
build the capacity of these organizations to carry out programs
that alleviate poverty. AmeriCorps VISTA members recruit and
manage community volunteers, raise funds, and help coordinate
projects. They support programs that improve academic
performance, expand job opportunities, develop financial assets,
alleviate hunger, reduce homelessness, and improve health
services. They also support programs that increase housing
access, develop economic opportunities for low-income veterans
and military families, and expand access to technology.
