Member Duties : VISTA members will commit to a year of full-time service to help organizations increase capacity to allow more individuals in poverty to be served. Activities are specific to the organization but may consist of recruiting youth and adult volunteers to aid in implementing impactful programs, managing volunteers (both youth/adult), making community connections to leverage organization resources, building resources through fundraising and grant writing, and building service capacity through program development.
