On December 12, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson welcomed the first group of 20 VISTA volunteers with this advice: “Your pay will be low; the conditions of your labor often will be difficult. But you will have the satisfaction of leading a great national effort and you will have the ultimate reward which comes to those who serve their fellow man.”
