VISTA
Volunteers In Service Towards America
The History
AmeriCorps VISTA is a program created to reduce poverty in the United States. It was first proposed by President John F. Kennedy and established as Volunteers in Service to America in 1965. In 1993, it became part of the AmeriCorps network of programs. Providing VISTA Members to non-profits, allows for optimal economic development and cultural change.
Our VISTA Members serve over 15 counties, impacting over 400 businesses, dozens of schools, thousands of students and teachers; training over 200 film industry professionals and coordinating hundreds of volunteers. Overall, in the past two years, our VISTA Members have coordinated and facilitated over 50 programs providing a value to the community of over $500,000.
