AmeriCorps VISTA members spend one year in full-time service to address the needs of low-income communities.
All projects focus on building permanent infrastructure in organizations to help them more effectively bring individuals and communities out of poverty.

Who can apply for an AmeriCorps*VISTA?
- Public, private, or faith-based nonprofit organizations
- Local, state, or federal agencies
Project sponsors must be able to direct the project, supervise the AmeriCorps VISTAs, and provide necessary administrative support to complete the goals and objectives of the project. The goals and objectives must be clearly defined and directed toward alleviating problems of low-income communities, and meet the regulations of the AmeriCorps VISTA program.
One consistent goal for every AmeriCorps VISTA project should be the sustainability of the project by the sponsoring agency and the low-income community after AmeriCorps VISTA project sponsorship ends.
