AmeriCorps VISTA 60th Anniversary Toolkit
Description
This year, we recognize 60 years of AmeriCorps VISTA—an enduring commitment to alleviating poverty in communities across America. This milestone is not a celebration of poverty’s persistence but an acknowledgment of the individuals who have dedicated their time, talents, and passion to fighting it.
For over six decades, members in the VISTA program have worked tirelessly to address the root causes of poverty, from improving educational opportunities to expanding access to healthcare, food housing, and so much more. Their service has built the capacity of local organizations, empowered communities, and transformed lives—not only those they served but their own as well.
As we reflect on the history of the VISTA program, we honor the past and recommit to the mission of building a better future and disrupting the cycle of poverty.
Join the Celebration
Through op-eds, letters to the editor, or other communications channels, highlight the impact of the service our members do in your community. Share videos, photos, and posts on social media about the VISTA program or your own experience to help encourage the next generation and spread word of the legacy. You also can share your story on AmeriCorps.gov/ShareYourStory.
Brand your swearing-in and graduation ceremonies, and other events as part of the 60th anniversary celebration. You can find our special edition 60th anniversary wordmark in the communication resources tab below. AmeriCorps VISTA also can help amplify your event. Be sure to register your events so we have the details.
Help us tell the AmeriCorps VISTA story and encourage more people to meet the urgent needs of communities across America through national service. Use the Sponor Toolkit for recruitment materials.
Look out for updates as we continue the 60th anniversary celebration, including more social media posts, messaging, and other templates.
