ACT strives to create a space where teens feel they are important and learn to be a thriving part of their local community. ACT also runs a low-cost summer camp program, aimed at providing new experiences to low-income youth, allowing them to broaden their horizons. The VISTA member procures resources, recruits and manages volunteers, and develops community partnerships making high-quality, comprehensive, and inclusive programming possible. The member is part of a small team making big things happen for youth and the community.
