VISTA History
​

Authorized by President Lyndon B. Johnson’s signing of The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) was founded in 1965 to “fight the war on poverty.” VISTA was incorporated into the AmeriCorps network of programs in 1993, and since that time has continued to serve its original mission: to eliminate poverty in the United States.
