National Service

Since 1965, AmeriCorps members in the VISTA program have joined the fight against poverty. 

The VISTA program serves in each of the 50 U.S. states and in all U.S. territories. Each full time member serving as an AmeriCorps member serves one year, dedicating their time and talent to their sponsoring organization.
