West Virginia's Promise AmeriCorps VISTA Project
Promise VISTA members will be placed throughout the state to serve in developing the Five Promises to sustain programs by increasing funding to support program development. VISTA members will identify, enhance and increase community awareness to mobilize communities to provide all Five Promises to children and youth including those in and aging out of foster care. There are as many reasons to serve as there are people who serve. Volunteering is not just an altruistic act. It's an opportunity to advance in all areas of your life. Here are a few of the things you can gain when you give your time and yourself:
- Connect with your community.
- Conserve funds for charities, nonprofits and faith-based and other community organizations by contributing your time.
- Share your skills and gain new ones.
- Develop self-esteem and self-confidence.
- Meet new people from all walks of life.
- Enhance your resume and make important networking contacts.
- Promote a worthwhile activity.
- Feel needed and valued.
- Experience something new.
- Serve your country.
