What is AmeriCorps Volunteers in Service to America?
VISTA is the national service program designed specifically to fight poverty. Founded as Volunteers in Service to America in 1965 and incorporated into the AmeriCorps network of programs in 1993, VISTA has been on the front lines in the fight against poverty in America for 40 years. VISTA provides volunteers with community organizations and public agencies to create and expand programs that build capacity and ultimately bring low-income individuals and communities out of poverty.
