AmeriCorps VISTA

Founded in 1965, Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) is an anti-poverty program designed to provide needed resources to nonprofit organizations and public agencies to increase their capacity to lift communities out of poverty. AmeriCorps VISTA provides opportunities for Americans 18 years or older from a diverse range of backgrounds to dedicate a year of full-time service with an organization (“sponsor”) to create or expand programs designed to empower individuals and communities in overcoming poverty.

AmeriCorps VISTA’s mission is “to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering.”

Building capacity for public heath

AmeriCorps VISTA has designated PCRH as an Intermediary Host. PCRH works with organizations to place appropriate VISTA members, sparing them the effort of applying directly to AmeriCorps VISTA. We’ll help manage the grant, allowing you more time to make your impact in your community.

"My AmeriCorps VISTA service year has been transformative for my personal and professional growth. Not only did it sharpen my focus on pursuing graduate education and a career with social impact, but it also deepened my interest in improving healthcare access in rural communities. The opportunities and connections I've made through my VISTA experience have played an integral role in helping me springboard into the next chapter of my career, and I'm excited to see what the future holds."
