WV's Promise Youth Alliance, Inc. is
currently accepting applications from non-profit organizations, schools and state
agencies to gain a VISTA resource to focus on developing, enhancing and
sustaining educational programs focusing on fulfilling the Five Promises for children &
youth. VISTAs members serve to strengthen and supplement efforts to
eliminate and alleviate poverty, and to increase funding resources to
support programs. VISTA resources are used to provide a sustainable solution to poverty, not just making poverty more tolerable. All Promise VISTA Site Projects must be developed in accordance with AmeriCorps VISTA’s core principles: an anti-poverty focus; community empowerment; sustainable solutions; and capacity building.
