What is AmeriCorps?
AmeriCorps VISTA is a national service program designed to fight poverty. Members make a year-long, full-time commitment to serve on a specific project at a nonprofit organization or public agency. AmeriCorps VISTA is open to all U.S. citizens, nationals or lawful permanent resident aliens age 18 and older. In return for their service, members receive a modest living allowance and health benefits during their service, and have the option of receiving an education award or post-service stipend after completing their service.
