VISTA Program

Picture
The AmeriCorps VISTA Program is a national service program designed to alleviate poverty with over  75,000 Americans joining each year.  VISTA Members make a year-long, full-time commitment and Summer Associates commit to 10 weeks in the summer to serve on a project at a Free and Charitable Clinic, a Public Health Department, or a Social Service Agency. With passion, commitment, and hard work, VISTA Members aid in bringing individuals and communities out of poverty while improving access to quality health care.
​

WAFCC VISTA Members and Summer Associates help create access to quality health care for the uninsured and underserved populations in Wisconsin. ​They focus their efforts on building organizational, administrative, and financial capacity of the safety-net.  Projects may include reducing substance/opiate abuse, implementing Standards of Excellence, researching grants, and gathering data on social determinants of health. If you are a legal resident 18 years or older you are encouraged to apply! Explore our current opportunities by clicking here.
