Rochester Youth Year VISTA
 
 
 
Rochester Youth Year is a social justice fellowship program that strives to eradicate poverty for Rochester youth and families, strengthen communities, and promote community-centered leadership. You will join a close-knit fellowship of up to 13 other passionate, supportive, and social justice-oriented AmeriCorps VISTA members dedicated to developing sustainable solutions for alleviating generational poverty in the Rochester community. Rochester Youth Year members all serve within the City of Rochester, allowing the program to come together for monthly meetings and workshops, foster a spirit of collaboration among members, and offer networking opportunities to change-makers in the community. You will also receive direct support and professional development opportunities from Rochester Youth Year staff, representatives from the Rochester Regional Network of colleges, and a large alumni network.
