VISTAs serve for a variety of reasons, from wanting to make the world a better place to discovering a life-changing adventure. For one year, you will be doing everything you can to create and expand programs that ultimately bring individuals and communities out of poverty.

As a VISTA, you’ll gain:

• Memorable experiences
• Highly developed skills
• New friends
• A sense of belonging to a community
• Feeling of waking up every morning to help the world
• A new challenge

Recent graduates gain the kind of real-world experience they can’t find in a typical entry-level job. Experienced adults apply their skills and knowledge to serious social problems and discover previously untapped strengths.

In return for a year of full-time service, you’ll also receive other benefits as well:

• A $4,725 Segal AmeriCorps Education Award or $1,200 post-service stipend
• Modest living allowance
• Healthcare benefits while in service
• Childcare assistance while in service
• Student loan forbearance or deferment while in service
• One year of noncompetitive status for a federal government job
• Access to the network of VISTA & VISTA alumni (170,000 strong)
