AmeriCorps VISTA, as part of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), sponsors numerous training events for its members. Pre-Service Orientation is one type of event, which all VISTAs must attend in order to serve. In addition, AmeriCorps VISTA may offer a variety of In-Service Training (IST) events, which will typically focus on a particular theme related to community service and volunteer development. Occasionally, you may be required to attend an IST event in your state, while in other cases you may be given the option to attend. You also have the ability to search for IST events available in your state that you might be interested in attending.
