What is AmeriCorps VISTA?
AmeriCorps VISTA is a national
service program designed to alleviate poverty. President John F. Kennedy
originated the idea for VISTA, which was founded as Volunteers in Service to
America in 1965, and incorporated into the AmeriCorps network of programs in
1993. AmeriCorps VISTA members serve full-time for a year in anti-poverty
organizations and agencies throughout the nation, working on issues such as
fighting illiteracy, improving health services, creating businesses, increasing
housing opportunities, improving college access, and bridging the digital
divide.
