Its vision is for a diverse and growing economy that supports opportunities for all of Itasca County. The Eco3 VISTA Corps focuses on addressing poverty by addressing food access and systems, government policy, community development, education, health and wellness, creative place making, energy security and more. Eco3 VISTA members work with organizations that are deeply embedded in community to help develop solutions to community challenges through leveraging resources, building partnerships, expanding reach and improving organizational efficiency. Although each member is serving in a unique position, all cohort members will participate in VISTA specific activities such as regular cohort meetings, collaborative projects, professional development opportunities, and trainings.
