AmeriCorps*VISTA members
Members are entrepreneurial in their thinking and driven in their desire to create positive, long-term, sustainable change. Members are 18 years of age or older and typically have college degrees or at least three years of work experience.

AmeriCorps*VISTA members are men and women of various faiths, races, ethnicities, socioeconomic backgrounds, and physical and mental abilities. Many of our members are recent college graduates looking for an opportunity to serve a community and their country while gaining real world experience and skills they might not necessarily be exposed to elsewhere. Some members come from the local community being served. They are involved citizens with significant work and community experience. They are individuals with established networks who understand the community's history, recognize its assets, and know how to get things accomplished. Still, other members are recently retired professionals looking for a meaningful way to spend their retirement years. They are interested in providing their time and skills to benefit the community.
