VISTA Literacy Program

Americorps VISTA Literacy Initiative

Empowering Adults and Families through Literacy

Are you interested in making a difference supporting undereducated adults and their families, while gaining valuable skills for the future? If so, we have just the opportunity for you.

The Florida Literacy Coalition, in partnership with the Corporation for National and Community Service, is pleased to sponsor a statewide AmeriCorps VISTA literacy initiative.

AmeriCorps VISTA members work at the Florida Literacy Coalition or with one of our partner literacy agencies to help coordinate initiatives and support programs which help adults and families to develop their reading, writing and English language skills.

Please see our list of partner agencies below along with other information on AmeriCorps
VISTA service.

If you are interested in exploring the possibility of serving as Americorps VISTA member with
a literacy program in Florida, please contact Samantha Sparks at 407-246-7110 ext. 202 or
via email at sparkss@floridaliteracy.org.

“Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be a VISTA.
That experience taught me a lot and has really helped me in both
my professional and academic careers.”

Dan Behnke, Americorps* VISTA Volunteer (2004-05)

“My year as an Americorps* VISTA member was invaluable.
It gave me much more responsibility than an entry level job.
I was able to hone and develop practical skills.”

Alyssa Baer, Americorps* VISTA Volunteer (2006-07)
