Our team was made up of 8 members from around the country, bringing a diversity of skills, passions, and personalities to our Action Learning Challenge. While we are all very different individuals with unique talents, experiences, and needs, we chose to participate in this challenge for similar reasons. We chose to participate to have the opportunity to be part of a dynamic and virtual team so that we could make connections with other VISTA Leaders, experience professional and personal growth, share knowledge and experience, and create something that can help other VISTA members and Leaders to develop successful service projects.

 

As a team, our goal was to include new ideas for VISTAs to use, increase program visibility and recognition for the service projects, and provide specific examples of service day projects. Our hope is that we have produced a useful resource for creating projects that have a lasting impact on both the VISTAs participating and the communities they serve.
