AmeriCorps*VISTA
VISTA, Volunteers In Service To America, is part of a national organization called AmeriCorps within the Corporation for National and Community Service. Think Peace Corps but in America only, a domestic equivalent of a year of service. The AmeriCorps VISTA mission is to strengthen organizations that alleviate poverty through mobilization of volunteers and resources. Over 220,000 VISTA members have served in all 50 states and U.S Territories since 1965.
