AmeriCorps | Florida VISTA Network

The AmeriCorps | Florida VISTA Network partners colleges, universities, and community-based organizations to place AmeriCorps members throughout Florida. The program provides networking opportunities, resources, and training for those participating in our VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) network to combat poverty through engaging students and leveraging higher education resources to build the capacity of communities, colleges, universities, and local non-profits to alleviate poverty. AmeriCorps members are successfully building bridges between classrooms and communities by connecting educators, students, and community partners to improve education and address societal needs through campus-community partnerships, applied civic education, and engaged citizenship. Students are learning from being engaged in meaningful service opportunities that create positive change in communities. The AmeriCorps | Florida VISTA Network is a program of Florida State University’s Center for Leadership & Social Change
