Join us in impacting the lives, livelihood and living condition of Mississippi's most vulnerable community. VISTA members will alleviate poverty by launching a career development initiative that prevents learning loss, builds academic proficiency, develops critical thinking skills during out of school hours.

The project will focus on empowering youth by promoting 1) academic excellence, 2) substance-free lifestyles, and 3) an alternative to youth crime. The objective of this project is to promote education, values, positive attitudes, high levels of self-esteem, and strengthen students and their families in such a way to avoid a life of crime and of poverty.
