Serve New York VISTA 2019: Independent Health Foundation
 
 
 
Serve New York mobilizes AmeriCorps VISTA members to serve organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions focused on expanding educational opportunities, ensuring economic opportunity for all, and creating healthy futures for the residents of NY. The goal of Serve New York is to strengthen communities across the state and to allow organizations within them to better provide services to impoverished individuals and families. The Serve New York program has partner organizations in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Bath, Ithaca, Geneva, and White Plains. While serving, members receive support from the VISTA team at The Service Collaborative of WNY, Inc. The support includes monthly training, a social network of fellow members, and daily support from VISTA leaders.

Member Duties : The Independent Health Foundation (IHF) was founded in 1992 by the Independent Health Association as a nonprofit organization to create community programs that engage residents in healthy lifestyle behaviors. Areas of focus include under served and at-risk populations whose access to health care and social services are limited. In 2017, IHF reached over 400,000 Western New York residents through its signature programs, community initiatives, and events. The AmeriCorps VISTA member will be responsible for creating a framework in the Good for The Neighborhood Turnkey program to effectively establish partnerships and implement sustainable programs in under served areas. The ultimate goal of the VISTA will be to establish sustainability and build capacity within the Turnkey program, as well as assist impoverished and at-risk residents in Western New York with obtaining the health and wellness services they need to overcome the social and economic barriers they currently face.
