Americorps VISTA members have made significant contributions to Girls Inc.
By Megan Siehl, Manager of Development Operations

Over the past year, Girls Inc. has hosted four AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) members who have made significant contributions to our organization. AmeriCorps VISTA members commit to a year of full-time service, during which they combat poverty by building the capacity of nonprofit organizations.


Our VISTA members have played important role in our recent growth and expansion, helping us to build our capacity and to inspire more Central Indiana girls to be strong, smart, and bold.


We are excited to welcome five new full-year VISTA members in June, in addition to five Summer Associate VISTA members, who will complete 10-week terms this summer. Thank you to the Corporation of National & Community Service, and Indiana State Director Louis Lopez in particular, for their continued support to Girls Inc. of Indianapolis through the AmeriCorps VISTA program!
