Volunteer Iowa Rural Development and Opioid AmeriCorps VISTA Project
Volunteer Iowa Rural Development and Opioid AmeriCorps VISTA Project, through service and volunteering, seeks to create a climate where low-income students and individuals, and those affected by the opioid epidemic, are provided the tools needed for success. We are able to do this by partnering with non-profit organizations, local governments, state agencies, schools, and faith based organizations in communities throughout Iowa. These different organizations act as “host sites” for our VISTAs and provide both connections to their communities and supervision for the AmeriCorps VISTA members.
