VISTA: Fight Poverty with PassionThirty-seven million Americans—including 13 million children—live below the poverty line. Even those employed in low-paying jobs often are forced to choose between eating dinner, obtaining a vital prescription, or paying the monthly electric bill. “VISTA: Fight Poverty with Passion” is a new marketing and informational campaign that illustrates the continuing impact that VISTA volunteers are having across America every day—and the need for dedicated individuals at all stages of their adult lives to apply their passions and skills to help the neediest Americans break the cycle of poverty. Through new PSAs, print ads, and web banners, the campaign encourages more Americans—in particular minorities, recent college graduates, and baby boomers—to become AmeriCorps VISTA members. It also builds general awareness around the plight of the millions of Americans currently living in poverty. Hope and Help in the GulfIn conjunction with the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the Corporation has developed several videos and public service announcements to illustrate the national service response to Katrina and to recruit members and volunteers for current opportunities in the Gulf. AmeriCorps has more than 5,000 positions available over the next three years to help restore Gulf Coast communities. Volunteers, particularly skilled volunteers, are needed by all national service programs as well as by nonprofit and faith groups working in the region.
