Serve Philadelphia VISTA members play an integral role in developing, implementing and evaluating the City's greatest challenges and opportunities to alleviate poverty for Philadelphians. We are seeking candidates who are civically engaged and committed to making a positive change in their community. For many of our alumni, their service accelerated their career and advancement into leadership positions within the public sector.
