NYC VISTA Leader

NYC Service administers the NYC VISTA program with a group of VISTAs serving in NYC Government agencies supporting anti-poverty work through capacity-building initiatives. NYC Service promotes volunteerism, engages New Yorkers in service, builds volunteer capacity, and mobilizes the power of volunteers and service year members to impact New York City’s greatest needs. Currently, NYC Service administers four AmeriCorps Programs: 3 AmeriCorps State and National programs and 1 AmeriCorps NYC VISTA program. In the 2015 inaugural year, the NYC VISTA Program started with 9 VISTA members and 1 VISTA Leader. Our members have served in various city agencies with varied focuses: Homelessness, Veterans, Immigrants, Housing and Homelessness, and Children’s Services. The 2024-2025 VISTA Leader will work with NYC Service to evaluate the program in anticipation of relaunching in 2025-26. This includes program evaluation, host site and member recruitment to continue the mission to help lift New Yorkers out of poverty by using their previous experience(s) as an AmeriCorps Member or Peace Corps Volunteer. The VISTA Leader will report to a city agency staff and be part of the larger NYC VISTA community.
