Did you meet the 2021 City of Salinas AmeriCorps VISTA team? The City's VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) team advanced projects focused on the Alisal and Alisal Vibrancy Plan implementation, housing and homelessness, small business support, healthy lifestyles, and youth development and volunteerism. The AmeriCorps VISTA program is centered around helping local governments and organizations expand their capacity to address poverty and poverty-related issues (https://americorps.gov/).

In addition to benefits received through AmeriCorps, serving as a VISTA with the City of Salinas creates opportunities to gain resume-building experience, build relationships with community leaders and the community, and prepare you for the next steps in your career or education.
