Southern RI Volunteers Volunteer Recruitment & Practice Management VISTA

VISTA, Volunteers in Service to America- is the national service program that works to eliminate poverty. The AmeriCorps VISTA mission is to strengthen organizations through volunteering and the mobilization of resources. As a VISTA member, for one year, you will serve in a project identified and managed by the community while earning a modest living allowance that reflects the income level of the community where you are serving.
