We’ve put together this flyer to help guide you on your path to becoming a VISTA. Please review it carefully and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

If you haven't already please check out our web page, especially the program management section.

Currently, everything is geared towards the 2011-'12 program year, but you may find the VISTA members page helpful in learning more.

So add it to you bookmarks now, and check back for updates in the month ahead!

We don’t mean to pry… We just want to get to know you! We also want to make sure that we have your most current contact information and get a better understanding of why you chose to be part of our team.

So please take a moment and fill out this brief survey.
