Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) was established in 1965 as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty initiative. The program aimed to alleviate poverty by mobilizing volunteers to work in low-income communities across the United States. VISTA members engage in various activities, including education, health services, and community development, to empower individuals and strengthen communities. The initiative was modeled after the Peace Corps, focusing on domestic service rather than international.
