The Equity Center Resource Knitting VISTA

The Virginia Capacity Building Project supports the Virginia Department of Social Services and their partners, including the University of Virginia (UVA), in alleviating the effects of poverty through having VISTA members making lasting organizational changes through program capacity building. While our project covers a wide range of issue areas, from substance use disorder to immigrant and refugee services, all of our members are dedicated to increasing the impact and reach of social services and to pursuing healthy futures for all Virginians. The efforts of our AmeriCorps members will help us build towards a healthier, happier, and stronger Commonwealth.
