Job Corps and VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) were created as part of President Lyndon B. Johnson's War on Poverty initiatives in the 1960s. Job Corps was established in 1964 to provide education and vocational training to young people from low-income backgrounds, helping them gain skills for employment. VISTA, launched in 1965, aimed to alleviate poverty by mobilizing volunteers to work in underserved communities, addressing issues like education, housing, and health care. Both programs reflected the broader goal of reducing poverty and promoting economic opportunity in the United States.
