Up2Us VISTA

About Our Program

Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) is a federal grant program under the umbrella of AmeriCorps. Up2Us Sports began supporting a VISTA program in 2010 to provide capacity-building service members to SBYD programs within our membership network, as well as internally. In the summer of 2020, with AmeriCorps’ focus on helping programs through the COVID-19 pandemic, Up2Us Sports began supporting a VISTA Summer program.

VISTA TABLE TALK SERIES

VISTA Table Talk is a virtual series hosted by Up2Us Sports where we provide an opportunity for our AmeriCorps 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.

View all recorded episodes below, on our VISTA Table Talk Series YouTube Playlist, on our Up2Us VISTA IGTV Channel or the Up2Us Sports Spotify Channel.
