Today, more than 46 million Americans live in poverty. AmeriCorps VISTA taps the skills, talents and passion of more than 7,000 Americans annually to support community efforts in their fight against poverty. Here in the Capital Region, you can join AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) through the Siena College AmeriCorps VISTA program and help local communities experiencing poverty.
DISCOVER VISTA
AmeriCorps VISTA members live and serve in some of our nation’s poorest urban and rural areas. With passion, commitment, and hard work, they create or expand programs designed to bring individuals and communities out of poverty.
Siena College AmeriCorps VISTA make a year-long, full-time commitment to serve on a specific project at a Capital Region nonprofit organization, public agency, or educational institution. They focus their efforts to build the organizational, administrative, and financial capacity of organizations that fight illiteracy, improve health services, foster economic development, and assist low-income communities.

Service Highlights and Testimonials
When you dedicate a year of your life to community service, both the individual and the community served look different than when you first began. We asked some of our current members and alumni to share a bit about the impact their VISTA experience has had on them.
Intensive summer AmeriCorps opportunity
We also offer an intensive summer AmeriCorps opportunity, where VISTAs help complete a short term project with local Capital District nonprofits in what we call SPIn.
