VISTA v. Summer Associate The AmeriCorps*VISTA Summer Associate program offers a short-term opportunity to supplement a sponsor’s existing anti-poverty activities with an infusion of "hands-on volunteers." Unlike the year-round VISTA program, Associates can perform direct service activities. The Associate program may have existing VISTA members serve as mentors and coordinators for the Summer Associates. This is a prime opportunity to introduce individuals, particularly college age students, to national service with the hope it will lead to their participation in full-time programs later on.
If you do not complete the entire 8-week service, the education award is forfeited. Also, if it is discovered that any SA had supplemental income (part-time job), the education award is forfeited. SAs are allowed to take up to one educational course during the 8 week service period.
