IndyEast is a collective impact effort focused on helping residents across Indianapolis’ Eastside achieve economic mobility and build generational wealth. This place-based initiative brings together neighborhood organizations, employers, small businesses, housing partners, and local leaders to expand access to good jobs, stable housing, asset-building opportunities, and small business support.  VISTA members will play an active role in strengthening IndyEast initiatives by helping coordinate partnerships, uncover insights through research and data, share stories of impact, and build the tools and systems that make collaborative community work more effective. Through their service, members will gain experience in community development, economic mobility initiatives, and cross-sector collaboration while helping expand opportunities for individuals and families across the Eastside.
