VISTA Table Talk is a virtual series hosted by Up2Us Sports where we provide an opportunity for our VISTA members to come together to discuss the work they’re doing and the impact their organizations are making. The goal of VISTA is to provide organizations with capacity building AmeriCorps members to support organizations' mission to alleviate poverty.
This week for episode 3, in alignment with National Youth Violence Prevention Week, we brought together VISTAs from different organizations to reflect on topics such as how access to sports helps with violence prevention, the impact of violence on programming, and how their organizations are breaking down barriers to help youth feel safe in their communities.
The episode will air live on the Up2Us VISTA IGTV Channel on Friday, April 16th at 12pm ET.
The panel will be hosted by Krystal Harris, SBYD Project Manager at Up2Us Sports. Krystal manages the Up2Us Sports partnership with OJJDP and works with LA-based Sheriff’s Youth Foundation.
VISTA Panelists include:
Chantelle Heroux - Bridge to Skate
Ray Mendez - Harold Hunter Foundation
Robin Taylor - Up2Us Sports
